My first ICU cache so far. As the old saying goes, first impressions are everything. My first impression? I very much enjoyed going after this cache .

So I was kicking around on the computer, when I noticed that I had a decent number of emails in my inbox. Huh... they all appear to be about geocaches within 5km's of me (I have that notification set up). They all appear to be named similar, and all appear to be of the 'micro' or 'unknown' variety. Checking one out, the description indicates a nano.

"Interesting", says I. "I've had a lot of fun with nanos in the past, and a lot of unpleasant frustration. This could go one of two possible ways."

Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to hit up any of these geocaches for a day or so, due to various time constraints. However, today I was out shopping with my wife. Nonchalantly, I asked her to turn 'right' on St. Anne's instead of 'left'... just as a bit of a detour. It took her approximately 0.66274 seconds to know what I was hankering after .

She asked if it would be long.

She obviously hasn't dealt with me geocaching enough yet .

So I tell her it should be a quick one . She parks nearby and I hop out of the car. Passing by the skateboard park, I get close the coordinates, and then find myself rather perplexed. It seems as though I cannot get closer than about 10 meters to the coordinates after crossing the street. Seconds later, the blindingly obvious hits me, and I begin to look around the area of the telltale item of which the cache series is related to. Not having crossed this intersection too many times, it took a few seconds to locate what I needed to. Despite being a nano, it took me all of about 5 seconds to spot what I believed to be the cache container.

One quick grab later, and I had confirmed my belief. Opening it up, I noticed something (or possibly noticed something). Is the logbook perhaps waterproof, rite-in-the-rain paper? The texture, look, and thickness of it seems very, VERY similar to the rite-in-the-rain paper that I have put through extensive testing. If it is indeed that paper, then I both congratulate and thank you greatly. FAR too often are nano logs made out of paper that will just fall apart due to being rolled/unrolled long before it's ever filled up.

Unless of course this is just regular paper, but it DOES still seem thicker than normal printer paper or whatever. And in that case, it's still better that a bit thicker of a paper is used .

But I digress (because THAT never happens ). I very highly enjoyed this geocache. In fact... I have no clue why, but thus far, this nano is my favourite nano cache to have gone after so far . I imagine I'll be tackling the others in the series in the near future.

Thanks again. You sprang out of nowhere to place these caches, and for that I am grateful .

Took: Nothing (obviously)
Left: Logbook entry and nanomail ball (I get the feeling I may need to make more of those in the near future )
