FireRef (Found it) GC1ET9P - Hastur (2/2) by gp_man
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. This was one I had a hint on from a while back, and when I got there, can't believe I missed it before. The container is broken, but the log inside was completely dry. You might want to consider replacing the container. Thanks for putting it out!

FireRef (Didn`t find it) GC23PFN - Last Chance (1/1.5) by platerman
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. I tried looking for this one for a few minutes in each of several locations my GPS took me to. It seems from the google map on my iphone, where I looked the first time was the right place, but no luck. When I headed back to my bike, I was approached by a man from an older couple in a car that had parked behind my bike. The man asked if I worked for the people who work on traffic lights. I said no. He said something about seeing me poking around the light controls, and that he was interested in how the timing of the lights worked. Sounded a little fishy to me - like he was looking for an excuse to ask me about my poking around lol. I explained he could probably call the city engineering department for information on how that worked. He thanked me, got back in his car, and drove off. It was definitely a different muggle encounter. Thanks for bringing me here - I'll be back!

FireRef (Found it) GC1YTXQ - Don't Blow The Whistle On This One! (1.5/2.5) by The Goonies 7
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. I came into the parking lot off of Old French, but saw it was closer to the other side, and knowing there was an entrance on that side but never having been there, I decided to check it out. So I went around from the other side, parked on the little side street, and walked to the cache. It was a quick find, but felt a little wierd because there was a baseball game being played on the upper field. Thanks for bringing me here - I found a few others in this park early on in my caching career (if you could call it that lol). Thanks for the cache!

FireRef (Found it) GC259DB - Hey, Where's the Casino? (1/1) by GEOCATZ!
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. I looked in the wrong places for a while, based on my kind of hides, and where the GPS was taking me. After a few minutes, I widened my search and found it almost immediately. Thanks for bringing me here and for putting this out - I used to be a fireman in this area - now I'm protecting an area a little further East.

FireRef (Found it) GC259CJ - Who Threw That? (1/1) by GEOCATZ!
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. When I drove over the side street coming to the street this one was on, a car came up over the hill and slowly stopped about 50 yards away. It sat there, so I did, waiting for it to go by since I was at a stop sign. I think it took them almost a minute to park the car and get out - I couldn't figure out what they were doing! I found the cache quickly, once my GPS settled down. Thanks for putting this one out! I used to be a fireman in this area, but have since moved further East for the area I help protect.

FireRef (Found it) GC259C1 - Woody's Buffet (1/1) by GEOCATZ!
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. This was a quick, easy find. Thanks for bringing me back here. I hope this cache lasts, because I wonder how long the hiding place will. I used to be a fireman up in this area, but have since moved farther East in the area I protect. Between writing the field note and posting this log, due to the twitter/facebook connection, I got a comment from a former student "Did it taste good?" since all he saw was that I found the geocache "Woody's Buffet" - haha.

FireRef (Found it) GC1TQ9R - Telephone (1.5/1.5) by Aquarius204
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. It seemed like this one would be in the middle, so since I was closer to the Glenwood Park Ave end, that was where I parked. Some local muggles who live below the road were having a fire in their backyard, but seemed to ignore me. The road was rather wet, and in pretty bad shape for most of it - I doubt I could even get my scooter through all of it. It was a nice walk back once I got past the wet areas. The find was quick and easy, and was in good shape. Thanks for bringing me back here again - I found 1-2 other caches back here early in my caching career (if you could call it that!). Thanks for the cache! 1 TB inside - just discovered it.

FireRef (Found it) GC252HG - BM - Old Perry (1.5/1.5) by Tprints
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. I used to be a fireman in this area and responded to a number of accidents at this intersection, so it was nice to be here wandering around in a non-emergency situation. I looked for a few minutes before reading the logs, and Goonienanny's log was definitely helpful - once I thought about it, I made the find almost immediately. Thanks for bringing me here. Interesting benchmark - I assume the post inside is for altitude. Thanks for the cache!

FireRef (Didn`t find it) GC1WQ79 - West for West (1.5/1.5) by Firegirl69
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. It was dark out at this point, and even though from what was posted in the logs, I figured I knew exactly what I was looking for, I couldn't find it. I might try again next time I'm in the area and it's daylight. Thanks for bringing me back here, even if I didn't find it.

FireRef (Didn`t find it) GC1WH1C - Shady Rob's Puzzle Cache #4 (2/1) by Shady Rob
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. I looked for this one before with a group, on the night all of these caches were released. Hunted for a few minutes tonight, and had no luck again. Is it still there?

FireRef (Didn`t find it) GC1WH2T - Shady Rob's Puzzle Cache #23 (2.5/1) by Shady Rob
I decided to go out and do some caching this nice, warm evening on my scooter, since I haven't done some of the more simple ones in my area. I looked around the area that this one seemed to be in for a few minutes, but have, as of late, had trouble with caches on these kind of places. Thanks for bringing me here, even if I didn't find it. I ended my night with 7 finds and 4 DNF's. Thanks for putting these out, even if I didn't find it.
