Leakage from a Cluttered Mind

Dan’s first cache hide (and a puzzle at that) became available today. Fizzymagic, as expected was FTF. So this afternoon, I worked out the puzzle, which wasn’t hard and then went to find it.

On the way I stopped to find Knuckle Head (Dan was FTF yesterday).

Figuring out how to get to Dan’s, Driven Nuts, took me a lot longer than solving the puzzle. I should have plotted the coords on a map first. After finding the access point, the find was quick, coords were dead on, and it was in the first place I looked.

Since I was in the area, I made a more determined search than I had before at Highway Garage, and found it at 3:13 PM.

Noticed Vines N Roses has been around for a couple of days, so I made a coffee run to the far side of town and hunted for it. The location is a business park originally intended as a factory store center, but that fell through and the buildings stood empty for the longest time. There are now a few businesses located there. Since I got there at afternoon coffee break time, there were quite a few people out of the offices. I actually had to break off my search while a couple of people came out by the planter to take a smoke break. After they left, I found it. It’s up high, wedged between a couple of vine branches.
