My first

After hauling some stuff to the Post Office to mail, I tried to find a couple of nearby caches. (Near me, not the PO)

First one showed up about a week back. East Park Blocks I took the bus to within a few blocks (hey, my transfer was still good)

Found it without *too* much trouble, though the co-ordinates point to an [object] about 40 feet north of the [object] where the cache actually was.

I've intended to place a cache several blocks north of that for some time. I'd had the container and log prepared for months, and I had it with me. I just wasn't too sure about the spot I intended to hide it.

But halfway between that spot and the East Park cache, I saw an unusual bench in the park. And while sitting on it to rest a minute, I spotted several possible hiding places. Much better than what I'd intended. So I hid the container in one of them and marked the waypoint.

When I got home I went thru the process of submitting the cache, and a bit ago it was accepted. So, my first cache is out there.
Sit a Spell

I then walked over half a mile to Keebler Cache which I did manage to locate (you have to look in the right direction from the right spot to see it)

Walked back to Prescott and used my still good transfer to get home. Total walking was about a mile, plus a lot of standing in line at the PO. My legs were not happy. I'll live.

Now waiting to see how long it takes to find the cache. :-)

ETA (@ 7pm) :it's been logged and the logging person says they *just* missed out being the first to Find. :-)
