Found it 5/28/2007 by Kabuthunk
When I said that I was making a specific trip out to Kings Park for *Butterfly*'s caches, and I aimed to do just that. This cache was the first on the list of hers. Given it was y'know... closer and whatnot ToungeOut.

Also... the show Fraggle Rock ruled BigSmile.

Anyhoo... in biking to this cache, I decided to take some of the dirt trails toward here. It appears that several of them have met some... uhh... unfortunate circumstances (see attached pic). But luckly, I was able to easily bike around any obstacles (it was too muddy today for me to want to just ramp the area, despite how much I wanted to do that ToungeOut), and quickly reached the cache location. A dog-walker was pretty much right there however, so I kicked back and sat on that really big, flat-topped rock and drank some water until he wandered away (only a few seconds). At which point... I began the hunt.

Now normally, I'm not all that fond of rock-pile geocaches, but THIS particular one was very fun for me. It heavily reminded me of playing around similarily rocky locations as a kid (see "Early Maridia" cache). Bounding up and down the area, I poked and prodded everywhere I could think of. Taking a quick break, I decided to break down and check the hint.

For the record... that is an awesome hint. Not too obvious, but gives you something to work with. Off I went for round two, coming back shortly with a successful find! T'was a fun cache, and had me smiling the entire way BigSmile.
