A small cache n’ dash (if you can find parking) camoed to its environment. Replace so cache fits in well with its surroundings again. Few small items and logbook/pencil. Dedicated to a most interesting cacher whose logs we enjoy and whose good nature we appreciate.

Found it 8/14/2006 by Kabuthunk
Third cache ever found. Once again done in the dark, without a GPS system. However, this time I had a flashlight, and had just prior to leaving the apartment looked at Mapquest to get a general idea of it's location. Found it at about 11:40 at night. Note: you may want to mention that it may have a water hazard after a rain. After Saturday's rain, I'd jack the terrain level up by one star, seeing as the 'path' that everyone else here has mentioned starts out underwater :P. I ended up stumbling off a mini-embankment and found myself knee-deep in another portion of said water (and was forced to walk a mile and a half back to the apartment half-wet since we walked there to begin with). The cache was found shortly thereafter. Interesting hiding idea, but I get the feeling the animal activity may cause this one to need constant repair. It was knocked over when we got there. Signed logbook and put back in place.
T: Small compass
L: Chainmail ball (see profile)
