[This cache has actually been in my sights for quite a while now. Every time I drive to the mall or past it... the icon for this cache has been here, zipping past me on my GPS's map. Well... for the past month or so that it's been in existence, anyway . But yes... every day on the way to work... there's the cache. On the way home... still there. Shopping? Oh, you bet the cache icon is still sitting there. So yes, it's been in the back of my mind for quite some time. However, I inevitably have no time to go after it when I'm nearby, due to either needing to... y'know... go to work for example. Or if I don't have my GPS with me (most days going to work), it's sitting there in the back of my mind.

Today however, I planned to tackle it once and for all! With time on my side, and a bike to avoid needing to run over after parking, I was able to cruise right up to ground zero! Since I was in the area, I had tackled several other caches just North of Bishop Grandin, and then headed South after this one. As I was waiting for the lights to change, I took a few seconds to check the GPS and see what the name and size was. I vaguely remembered it being a micro, and wasn't surprised to see that part. The name however, was quite unusual, and I hadn't the foggiest clue what to think of it. Since I didn't look at the cache description or hint as of yet, it completely baffled me. Even now actually, I only understood the name of the cache after consulting ye olde internet.

At which point, it now makes perfect sense... as does the hint .

But thankfully, I needed neither in order to find this cache today. I had no clue what I was going to be looking for, so I basically just rolled my bike up to approximately where ground zero would be. After checking with the GPS and confirming I had reached the location, I looked around an noticed something.

Now... quite possibly the ONLY reason I noticed something is actually a little unusual. There was a previous cache that I had found not long ago that had the EXACT same colour as this one. It was entirely different altogether, but by blind coincidence the colour happened to match up, as well as the 'look' of the material. So, thinking that I had perhaps found a cache by the same hider who happened to use a similar container, I gave it the old 'poke' test. At this point, I knew immediately that it was completely different than the previous cache. However, the poke test had confirmed that what I had stumbled across turned out to be the cache anyway! Hey, wasn't going to argue with the completely inadvertent and unexpected hint that fate decided to throw my way for this one . But prior to said poke test,] the name of the cache had indeed been accurate, and from the angle that I was standing, it had appeared perfectly... well... perfect.

[So with the cache in hand, I quickly signed up the logbook and dropped in a micromail ball. Replacing the cache as found, I headed on my way back to the apartment. Although, I'm not sure if much can be done about it, but] when standing at an 'incorrect' angle, the method of keeping the cache there is somewhat visible. [I hadn't noticed when I arrived, and only when I was preparing to leave... but just figured I'd give a heads up.

Thanks for the interesting cache though! I don't think I've ever seen one hidden in quite this way before, so it was definitely refreshing to see something other than "the usual", so to speak .
