Before going to work I decided to make another try for Romeo is gone. Since it’s right next to a busy intersection, it’s a hide I dislike. This time I read the description carefully (it’s a micro magnetic), and found it almost immediately at 8:55 AM.
In talking with Wacka at the pizza event last Friday, he mentioned Green Acher’s Code Cache and I said I was stumped. He promptly gave me a nudge which immediately gave me an idea. Sure enough, got the coordinates after I got home. So, I drove on over to find it today. Despite the tree cover, I zeroed in on it quickly at 9:11 AM. It’s a small, magnetic micro hidden up high in a fence post.
When I left work at noon, I decided to drove over to Dublin to look for Blue iis Grand. I had to walk by a playground and drew the attention of one of the mom’s–she definitely kept an eye on me. I spotted what I thought would be the cache, but didn’t think I could retrieve it since I was being watched.
So, I left and drove out Dougherty Road to look for Red Willow Crossing. I drove around quite a bit trying to find the right road. The cache is near a footbridge, and I spent a lot of time hunting. According to the hint, it should have been there. Unfortunately, since this was spur of the moment, my coordinates were 4 days stale and the cache had been relocated.
Headed down Sycamore Valley Blvd and looked for the multi Sycamore Park Pond. Gathered the required info from the placque near the pond, and quickly found the cache at 2:03 PM.
Then I drove to the Danville park on Brookside and hunted It took long enough. I’m stumped. It’s supposed to be visible, but not to me today.
Finally, I returned to Blue iis Grand and confirmed what I saw was definitely the cache, but I couldn’t figure out where the log was. Turns out something was just too tight, so a little more force exposed the log. This was a very clever cache, but I think it is far too high maintenance. Found it at 3:06 PM.
