Ingenious

Last weekend we hunted down a series of caches that were hidden by a man who doesn't just put something under a log or behind a rock. He creates clever hiding spots that look like they belong where he puts them. Sometimes this means screwing something to a building, or hinging the lid on something that wouldn't normally have a lid. These caches are sometimes right out in the open, and the trick is to get at them without drawing the attention of those going by. I think he must really scout out an area and then sit and make devious plans on how to place a cache so that you won't think to look there, or if you do, you have to come up with some sort of distraction so you can get at it. We found several, but there was one we didn't find. There was a gentleman sitting in the park watching us the whole time. He probably wondered what we were up to as we wandered back and forth and poked at things. Rest assured, we will go back and eventually find this one too.
