Found it 10/7/2006 by Kabuthunk
Well... this cache began the day off o' geocaching for me. I was planning on spending a good chunk of this day out with the GPS, and this was my first victem... place... cache... whatever ToungeOut. Decided that I'd take on the University of Manitoba caches, since those have been mocking me for being so close since I started caching. Also, it's a Saturday, so that kept the bystander population down to a minimum.

In either case... parked in U-lot (or was it Q-lot... the one closest to the field that's not Loonie (or Toonie as I've heard it's changed to) lot), and headed out. TONS of geese on the field at this time. Preeeetty sure the bottoms of my shoes weren't looking the cleanest by the time I got to the cache, but this was only the beginning. I'm sure anything on my shoes would be trodden off by the end of the day. Found the cache pretty quickly when I got there. It just looked... newer... than the rest of the structure. Awesome idea for a hide though. Very creative, and very effective. Kinda surprised it doesn't get wet at all though, but then again, I guess that's what the ziplock bags are for. Nonetheless, a quick signing, and I was off to the next.

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry and chainmail ball
