Interesting cache, to say the least. Normally, I didn't expect to be able to get this cache anytime in the even remotely near future. Kabuthunk + downtown... or anywhere north of approximately Taylor = a nervous Kabuthunk. I grew up in the country... the big city with the crime he's always hearing about still scares this farmhand.

But today, I had specific reason to be in the area. My mom was at the time in Health Sciences Center... so I was going to go visit her before I started my work shift. I wasn't sure if I'd have time to geocache at all however, so just on the offchance that she was asleep or having something done in which I couldn't see her, I prepared. Before I left home, I grabbed my work bag, my GPS, and a few chainmail balls. Y'never know, right?

So off I went and visited my mom. Good chatting, etc, etc, the usual visit. Mom (who if she was feeling better, owned a GPS, and had the internet... that probably being the most important... would be an avid geocacher) had asked me as she often does if I'd found any new geocaches lately. I told her of a few, and then explained that there's several like... right outside HSC. Her eyes widened, and she shuffled me out 10 minutes early giving me the instructions of "Go find a geocache". She wanted to come with... but was kinda not in "run around outside" condition. Will I defy my mother's wishes? NEVAH! I'm gonna go find a geocache .

Heading outside, I quickly discovered that I exited from the furthest possible door from the coordinates. Of course. A little bit of walking, and I started nearing the coordinates. There appears to be an extraordinarily large amount of construction going on with yonder building. I hadn't the foggiest clue what was going on, since I didn't have my palm pilot with me to check the cache description.

What would have ALSO been useful in said cache description is the line "Bring your own writing stick". I wasn't sure if there was anything in my bag capable of writing, so I just crosses my fingers that the cache had something. Yeah... crossing my fingers surely helped, all right .

At first, the coordinates were having me poke around on the wrong side of the street. The GPS kept jumping all over the place... guess the tall buildings were playing havoc with it. A little bit of trial and error later, and I spotted something that seemed... out of the ordinary. Could it be? Heading over, I gave a test-poke, and shortly thereafter had the cache in hand .

Without a writing stick .

Digging through my work bag, I found (and I'm not kidding you) a titanium spork. I got it off ThinkGeek a while ago... useful for lunch at work, what with the spoon/fork aspect. I remembered that it had left marks on some of the plates, so I figured maybe, MAYBE I can get it to leave a mark on the paper. Yeah, no. In retrospect, I should have tried my keys... probably would have worked better.

But in either case, I managed to scratch the date and my initials into the paper at the top of the new column. It was clearly visible to me, but if someone could maybe fill in my scratches with something more visible, that'd be much appreciated . I've also left a micromail ball however, if there was any doubt that I was here to begin with anyway .

I had actually contemplated a method I've seen another cacher use elsewhere... writing one's initials in mud... but the logbook was too small for that .

Thanks for the cache... a find now dedicated to my mom , who was dwelling a few hundred meters away in the GD-2 wing.

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook scratches and micromail ball

Again... if someone could fill in my scratches... much appreciated.

EDIT: Huh... just realized that on the link Ertyu has in the description, it's a live webcam feed. I could have been seen hunting for the cache live, apparently .
