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 .

Also... the show Fraggle Rock ruled .

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 ), 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 .
