Fremont Claassens: I wasn't sure about the "out in the open" comment - figuring this one had just been placed on the wrong side of the post and hoped the finder had replaced it hidden by the tree.
Not so ... as I drove by today (after taking Straight Shot Mike to see The Bridge to Terabithia) I noticed the vegetation has been completely hacked off to the ground and there, in all its glory, was my geocache, stuck to the lightpost.
I'll go find somewhere else to hide it.
