Well here we are. i have taken a page form Chewys book adn placed a cache after the man who got me addicted. This cache is named after Glacier_ice. I hope that by finding this cache you too can revel in the honor of being associated with Glacier_ice. It was placed by myself and the older of the Pa_Bottle children. Like it is mentioned above, the muggles are out and moving quick. But beware of how you approach. Your car could be in danger. |

Went after this one more on a whim today than anything else. However, pretty much ever since it was placed, I've been wanting to go after it. Relatively close to home (well... south end of the city... but since I've just about cleaned everything out between South Permimeter and Fermor/Jubilee... anything inside there is close ), but parking would have been interesting.
Now, most NORMAL people who have even the remotest sense of direction would have parked where Ertyu likely parked... that being some residential-based section. ME on the other hand thought until today that it was on the NORTH side of Bishop Grandin, not the SOUTH side. Hence, I never really considered there to be any close parking... because I'm stupid .
But today, parking wasn't an issue. Well... technically it was... and an expensive one... but that's because I needed to temporarily park my car inside the Automall to get it repaired. Hey... some of it was covered under warrantee, so it was actually worth fixing at the dealership . But anyway... my appointment to drop off the car was an hour-and-a-half before I needed to be at work. Albeit their shuttle service will take me to work, I still had time to kill. TO THE CACHE! Hence, I took a walk.
At which point I reached the North side of Bishop Grandin and realized I needed to be on the opposite side of it. Oops. Crossing at the lights at Waverly, I was safely across and on my way to the cache.
BEAUTIFUL day for a walk by the way. Anyone else that was out caching today... you know what I'm talkin' about. If I could have skipped work and just... walked all day, maybe make my way all the way to Corydon or so, that would have been awesome. But alas... work called... so I had one task before me at hte moment... the cache. Didn't take long to reach it (watching my GPS, it appears my "slow, taking my relaxing time" walking speed is about 6km/h. Evidently, my normal walking speed is closer to 10. Yay for long legs!
But a nice walk over, and I neared the coordinates. Luckly, I didn't have the luck previous cachers have had with bystanders, as the area was dead-silent of life. Well, except the cars on the road... but they're busy paying attention to not running into eachother and such. So with no bystanders to see me cache, I began looking. The first place I looked only turned out to be a weird lump on a tree... however I discovered seconds later that I was at the moment standing no more than four feet from the cache itself anyway . I was expecting this cache to put up a bit more of a fight to be found, but I think I got lucky. Don't know if I'd consider this size a 'small' cache myself... but that's just me.
In either case... cracking open the cache (not literally... don't worry, I didn't like... take a hammer to it or something), I logged myself in and put it back together. Mind you, a micromail ball found its way inside as well... but that's to be expected.
Thanks for giving me somewhere to walk to while waiting for my car to be fixed (which ended up not being fixed until 17:00 or so anyway... but that's besides the point). Given the option of sit inside the dealership waiting area, reading the sun and watching the crap TV that's considered entertainment nowadays, or walking outside on a beautiful day to the cache... I think the decision was obvious. No, put down the remote... go put your shoes on instead .
Took: Nothing
