PLANNING
I had an opportunity to revisit the Odessa area this morning. I made a list of 3 geocaches (one of which I DNFed a couple of days ago) and gave myself one and a half hours to search for all 3.
OUTCOME
This was my first search of the morning. It took me a few minutes to find the entrance to the park where the mill was located but after that it was a simple find.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
Great location off the beaten track. TNLNSL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:

I am now 1/1 for today. It is always a good feeling to begin with a find.
