Ahh, the next non-disabled cache that's closest to me at the moment. I figured I'd tackle this guy after managing to find Pay Phone, since this was sorta on my way home from there.

Hence... I parked at the mall nearby and walked over. Unfortunately... I met what every cacher dreads. Bystanders. Quite close to the cache, too (about 20 meters). Hence... I sat down and soaked up some sun for about 20 minutes, relaxing, waiting for 'em to leave. Ahh... sun .

After said 20 minutes... I tried to circle around and see if it was maybe where they wouldn't be able to see me. Nope... would be right in their line of view. Wandered back to my sittin' spot for about another 5 minutes, and ended up watching some kids play frisbee nearby. Shorly after, a group of "badass kids" (you know the type... wearing all leather... hanging out in a group around wherever there's graphiti... smoking in a dark corner) decided to set up camp right next to the cache location... about 5 meters from. Well... I had no clue how long they were going to hang around there, so I bailed for the time being. Besides, the first group was still lying on the grass and hadn't even come close to moving.

Cut to about 3 hours later, when I coincidentally needed to go in that general direction again. Decided to swing by and see if anyone was still in that forest/park thing. Noone! It's a miracle! So... back to the exact same parking spot and walked over. This time, I found the cache quite quickly. As with the previous cachers... I was quite amused by the cache-holder . And now after having found this one... the next nearest cache from me (that's still enabled) is 4.7 km's away. Man... I've wiped this area. Looks like I'll be getting more exercize while biking to caches, anyway .

Took: The word "find" (since that's what I did ).
