Found it 8/16/2008 by Kabuthunk
Y'know, I didn't even KNOW this was a nano-cache, as the description so blatantly says. However, what I DID know was that it was as of currently the closest cache to where I live... and thus must be located ToungeOut.

Since I hadn't been biking in a while, I opted to haul the bike out to this cache. It looks like others have mentioned in their online logs that finding legal parking is a bit interesting at times, so it's probably for the best that I had the bike with me. For several reasons, actually... as you will soon come to find out.

So I headed off from home with naught but my bike, geocaching bag, a bottle of water, and my MP3 player. A few minutes of biking south, and I found myself at Bishop Grandin. Luckily, the lights were in my favour, so I didn't even have to wait for that one. After getting to the paved 'greenway' path, I made my way towards the coordinates. Shortly after passing that bench there, I came across two particularly cute girls walking by, quite obviously checking me out.

What? As my wife says... I may be married, but that doesn't mean that I'm dead ToungeOut.

But yeah, I've been told that when I'm in my biking gear (shorts, sleeveless shirt, etc), I'm apparently not that shabby to look at. *shrug* I'd have never thought so personally, but hey, who knows what girls are into these days. Anyway. when passing them, they called out to me, snagging my attention. Given I was listening to my mp3 player, I didn't catch what they said, so I hit the brakes and skidded to a stop. Evidently, they needed directions to St. Vital mall. Out-of-towners, I'm guessing. So I tell them they're walking in the right direction, and they ask how many miles it is.

Americans, evidently ToungeOut.

So I tell them "coincidentally, I have a GPS with me!" Scrolling over to where St. Vital mall would be, I tell them they have about 1.5 kilometers to go. Off they went, and I continued in the opposite direction to the cache!

Sorry... went off-topic a bit there, but what can I say... they were a memorable part of the cache Blush.

Anyway, when I got to the coordinates, I surprisingly found the cache quite quickly. Probably within the first 20 seconds, anyway. I also discovered that the cache's hiding spot was being shared with a big ol' cricket. He just kinda moved to the side a bit while I made the find. I'm pretty familiar with this type of cache container though... my pet cat owns one too ToungeOut. A quick signing later, and a micromail ball found its way into the cache. Glad I had a number of 'em with me... ended up finding two nano-caches today!

Pretty ingenious hiding spot though. The 'camouflage' was a bit out of place, so that's probably what made it stand out. As I was replacing the cache, our big ol' friendly cricket decided he had enough activity with me shuffling the cache container around him for one day and split. I replaced the camouflage back in a bit better a position, so it blends into the wall more.

Thanks for the hunt. Not only did I get to find a clever nano, but I got to both check out, and be checked out by a couple of cute girls ToungeOut.

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry and nanomail ball
