Well, despite it being humid out, not to mention windy (of course, going AGAINST me, as wind tends to usually do), I was greatly hankering for a bike ride today. So... I tossed on my backpack, clipped the GPS to my bike, and off I went! I spent a minute or two deciding between two caches... and since I wanted to get the against-wind part over with on the first half of the bike ride, yonder Nano cache got my attention for the day .

So... 4 or so kilometers against wind later, I find myself at the cache site. Unfortunately, there's many a car parked nearby. Very few people were either walking by, or entering/leaving buildings, but it still made me feel a touch uneasy. Luckly, there's a bus stop nearby that I could pretend to be waiting for (despite the fact that I had a bike... but I've seen people clip a bike to that bike-rack on the front of some of the busses before). At which point, I pulled out my water bottle, leaned my bike against the fence there, and began to just kinda... wander around, as if killing time waiting for the bus.

On the plus side, little wandering was needed. About 2 or 3 minutes into my wandering, I poked that which could have only been one thing... the cache .

Unfortunately for the evilness of this hide, I've been literally WAITING for this type of hide to come along. Ever since seeing a picture of one example of this, any time there's a micro with this type of potential hiding spot nearby, I always checked it. Hence... this particular cache was EXACTLY what I had been anticipating finding one day (well, not QUITE exact, but neglegeably different ).

To avoid suspicion, I went and kicked back and sat down on that wooden cart-wheel that's there for some reason, and "waited for the bus", aka: signed the logbook . I at first attempted to get a regular micromail ball into there, but that wasn't about to happen comfortably. Hence... if you've been wanting one for any kind of sig-item collection, this is officially the second cache to be graced with a Kabuthunk nanomail ball .

But nice hide though. Tis but a shame I had this kind of hide in mind for the past forever, otherwise it would have truly been quite the evil cache .

Although, as a side-note, I think your 'logbook' could have been easily twice as wide, if not slightly more, and still fit comfortably. But that's just my thinking. Given I've never owned that type of container, I could easily be wrong .

Took: Nothing (obviously)
Left: Logbook entry and nanomail ball (bet you thought nothing other than the logbook would ever go into that cache, DID ya ?
