Third cache ever found. Once again done in the dark, without a GPS system. However, this time I had a flashlight, and had just prior to leaving the apartment looked at Mapquest to get a general idea of it's location. Found it at about 11:40 at night. Note: you may want to mention that it may have a water hazard after a rain. After Saturday's rain, I'd jack the terrain level up by one star, seeing as the 'path' that everyone else here has mentioned starts out underwater :P. I ended up stumbling off a mini-embankment and found myself knee-deep in another portion of said water (and was forced to walk a mile and a half back to the apartment half-wet since we walked there to begin with). The cache was found shortly thereafter. Interesting hiding idea, but I get the feeling the animal activity may cause this one to need constant repair. It was knocked over when we got there. Signed logbook and put back in place.
