    YES!!!!! 😁
    My name is ucspots, I am a YJTB junkie. Hi ucspots...
    I went in search of this particular cache for the sole purpose of (hopefully) capturing my first YJTB. Running on fumes (in my own Jeep) by the time I reached the location, I travelled the last 8 miles w/o air conditioning in a effort to conserve (of course, that was NO PROBLEM for my Jeep, either). It's now 2:55 P.M. and I am a sweating pile of 100% cotton. I know, you're thinking, "hey, she's a hottie!"--(pun intended). I finally find the cache, open it up...ucspots is now looking like a deer in the YJTB headlights--it's still here!! After freaking out, I frantically look around to see if someone will be jumping out of the bushes, wrestle me to the ground and snatch this prize from my sweaty palm (I only thought I was soaked before). In record time, I sign the log, do the trades, get ready to replace the cache--DOH! While I'm not sure where the 3 "car-guys" came from, they were all standing around a silver import, talking about their "chick magnet." (At first, I'm thinking, "Dudes, you have no idea what a REAL chick magnet looks like. I am now the proud owner of TWO!"). Then, I'm realizing I look a little conspicuous just hanging out in this location. Think fast, ucspots.

    Have you ever used your GPSr as a cell phone? I had a 7 minute conversation with 6 satelites ready to navigate within 23 feet. I was sporting a great "used-to-be-an-ammunition-container-purse" and having a very loud, angry argument at the party on the other end (which, as you know, was nobody). I hoped it would make them uncomfortable enough to leave. Needless to say, the cache was replaced undetected.

    After a brief photo session, party, drinks, dancing and a media party for my new YJTB buddy, I'll send her on her way to another cache and make someone else smile. THANK YOU JEEP!

    We finally had the YJTB and the perfect site to place it. After two weeks of frantic early morning near misses, we had it all together. But I had something extra... You know - there's NEVER a good time to have this... So after we parked our Jeep and 2 of 4x4x3 started hiking (she made me SWEAR to say this was Dad, NOT Mom), I left to find an appropriate area. I thought we were in a remote location only accessible by hiking or 4-wheel drive. After my pants were solidly around my ankles - HERE COMES A JEEP - driving so fast I thought he might have the SAME PROBLEM!!! In a failed attempt to ensure decency, I tried to maneuver behind some better cover. That's when my ankles, bound together by my pants, seized and over I went filling my pants with rocks and debris. I tried as calmly, yet quickly as I could, to regain clothing and composure. Then, the guy in the Jeep drove over to ask if I would move our Jeep because it was blocking the trail. Surprisingly, everyone in his vehicle acted as if they hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary. If this isn't out of the ordinary, I pity those people!!!
    After a good wash-up with that wonderful hand sanitizer, I moved the Jeep and followed them up to the cache site. Since we were standing around trying to look inconspicuous, I couldn't help but wonder if they were there for the same reason? Now I'm not certain if it had anything to do with the aforementioned, but he acted like he'd never heard of Geocaching. Well, he carried on with his business farther up the trail and our family took some pictures and dropped off the YJTB.
