The final cache on my list o' caches today... that being three. I was contemplating four, but was getting way too cold to carry on.

In either case... I've been eyeing this geocache for a while now. But as the text portion of this cache says... parking is indeed the hardest part. However, I parked on that street beside the Vet and walked. It was something like 700 or so meters away... one way... and it was icy cold out... but at least there was no wind.

Hence... off I went. Being the third cache of the day, I was already cold, but I was also determined. Having been looking to get this one for a while, I was wanting to use it as the starting point of several of my TB's that I created. Hence, onward I strode. Much walking later, I arrived as close as I could to the cache without delving into the deep, deep snow.

However, I had with me some instant-winter-boots. Aka: Safeway bags that I put over my shoes, and tied that handles around the base of my pant legs. Worked like a charm! Onward I trudged through the snow. Man, those plastic bags work excellent. If anyone ever needs to go into deep snow with shoes, I HIGHLY suggest this method. It's beyond excellent for instant temporary snow boots.

But yes... a quick walk later, and I was at the cache location. Relatively safe assumption where it was hiding, and it wasn't covered in snow at all. It was indeed able to be obtained at this point in winter. And quite a large cache at that! After manoevering the container out, I cracked it open with my barely-having-any-feeling-left fingers.

This cache now gets to contain the starting point of three of my TB's. Go East Young Kabs, Go West Young Kabs, and Mother Brain's Shrunken Skull. I kinda wanted them to all start at the exact same place, so a TB hotel seems suitable. I'm not particularily expecting them to move for several months, due to winter, but you never know .

So dropping the TB's in, I headed back victorious. Thanks for giving me a cache big enough to hold my TB's, and give me a nice mini-forest cache to play in

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook Entry, Go East Young Kabs TB, Go West Young Kabs TB, Mother Brain's Shrunken Skull TB, and chainmail ball (whew, say all THAT three times fast).
