We love our micros downtown, so here is one more.

If you have done other Devisor caches you probably will guess where this one is when you get close to the location. Replacement of the cache will be tricky, ensure it is back where it was taken from.

A look out is recommended for this one, as you are going to have to be very bold.

There is a nontraditional micro container; it is 100% waterproof, if tightened properly.

Please pay attention to the attribute codes.

There is just the log sheet in this one, however there is a second container with a FTF prize right next to the cache. The FTF container needs to be replaced as well I will collect it at a later time.

Bring your writing stick.

Found it 10/5/2006 by Kabuthunk
Hurrah! Well, after a dismal first attempt, I got a few tips and hints from people on how to find this. Then again, after having read the geocache page, it was relatively self-explanatory where it was. Breaks a little from the tradition of... traditional, but definitely a fun find once I learned of it's approximate location. As the last finder said... it's definitely a surprise at how little people pay attention to you when they have their own things to do. But in general... for a bit I just kinda sat right nearby and glanced at my watch every so often, making it look like I was waiting for someone. When the coast was... well... as clear as it gets (ie: no cars waiting at a red light beside me), I kinda took a quick peek to see the general location of the cache. Took me a minute to figure out what it was although when I eventually got right up close, it made perfect sense.

So the next coast-clear, BLAGH, off I went to the cache. Extremely doubtful anyone saw me, as I didn't hear anyone say anything, or with the view I had from beside the cache, didn't see anyone walking towards me or even stopping. So I took my time and signed me some logbook, tossed in a micromaille ball, and put the fella back. With the aformentioned view that I had from there, I waited until the coast was... well... as clear as it gets, and BLAGH, back to sitting and looking like I'm waiting for someone. A few moments later, off I went to the car. Thanks for the cache man. I'm still a newbie at geocaching though, so at least the offset coordinates type thing was a learning experience. Mental note... if the coordinates seem to point to absolutely nothing whatsoever, look for the closest thing that would most likely be a cache-hole, and dive in ToungeOut

Signed logbook, left micromaille ball (yeah, y'know what? I think I'm not going to bother putting 'see profile' here any more. If someone's confused, odds are they'll check my profile anyway ToungeOut).

Ok, for the record... the coordinates must be pretty far off, because I was at 5m accuracy, and it kept trying to tell me that the coordinates were basically standing on the curb at the corner of Donald and Broadway. I ended up searching everything within a 10-15m radius at that part of the intersection, and anything vaguely close to the corners on all other corners of the interesection. Like... seriously. Either WAAS was throwing my GPS off by 20 meters or they need to be adjusted. Wish I woulda looked at this page before doing the cache, as I woulda been looking in the correct area at least then. Spent a good 30-40 minutes circling around to see if it had me off somehow, but nope... no matter how many times I circled the interesection, or walked off and came back, the coordinates always pointed to the curb at the intersection.
And I have NO clue what that clue is supposed to mean. The only things I could find nearby that I associated with the "clue" were 'Route 42 South', 'Canadian Diabetes Association', 'Take Pride Winnipeg', and 'Dr. Amelia Yeomans'. Upon reading this page, the latter was probably at least close. But yeah... I have no clue what the "actual" clue is supposed to mean.
In either case... looking around the wrong area for 40 minutes didn't exactly please me, so the clue ended up translating to "Did Not Find" for this one.
