Leakage from a Cluttered Mind

Today, my DNF rate stayed just as high as it has been. At least I found DT21 & FW @3K. It’s a full size cache on the Iron Horse Trail. I was at first focusing on the wrong area, but after getting that straightened out, the cache was an easy find.

The cache is under the remains of an old railroad bridge that’s not obvious until you’re almost on top of it.

I had looked here before, but wasn’t thinking about the title, and I let the hint completely mislead me. I finally realized where I should be looking, so went to check today. As I drove up today, I noticed three guys leaving the area, writing in their PDAs and checking their GPSrs. They headed off toward the library.

I was right about No Change Required and made a quick find. Celebrated with a latte at the nearby Tulleys.

After a couple of days of disappointments (only making finds at about 30% of the locations), Bailey 8999 was a welcome find. I liked the well-constructed container made just for this location.

Chickadee is in a park on the west side of 680 (literally). Unlike some of the other bird-themed caches by this owner, this one was not hard to find. I thought the coordinates was just a bit off, since I zeroed out in grass, but it was easy to checkout potential hiding spots. This cache may not make it through the winter rains since the lid is cracked and the contents are already damp.
