Geocache Description:

the cache is hidden along the west side of highway 99 on a frontage road just north of the junction with highway 70. you can drive within a few steps of it.

finagle's law states "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong...and at the worst possible time." (this is sometimes called a corollary of murphy's law). often times finagle's law has been in operation while i was caching. have any of the following happened to you?
1. you reached into a hole in a tree and found your hand covered by angry ants.
2. you worked hard to find a cache, only to see that you had signed the log a year ago.
3. you placed a clever cache and then found out that it was too close to an existing cache.
4. you placed a cache too close to a governmental enterprise, and the police called you about it.
5. you learned, after returning home from caching, that a new cache had popped up in an area where you were an hour ago.
6. you planned a fun outing with your caching buddies, only to discover that you had a prior commitment on your calendar.
7. you took your car on a narrow dead-end road where there was no turn-around space.
8. you returned from caching in the fields or woods, and found ticks crawling all over you.
9. you hurt your foot or leg while out hiking, and had to hobble all the way back to your car.
10. you noticed a nifty item in a cache that you would like to trade for, but you left your swag bag in the car.
11. you moved a travel bug along, and then realized you forgot to jot down the tracking number.
12. you had a brilliant idea for a cache, only to have the reviewer refuse to approve it.
13. you discovered in your notes a cache that you found months ago, but forgot to log.
14. you put out an awesome cache--clever and creative, and noticed that finders are logging "found it" or TFTC.
15. your spouse says, in a disapproving voice "you're not going caching again, are you?"
