Description

wheelchair accessable. lots of parking. Not terribly exciting..but perfect shopping for me. This is a active parking lot, so lots of parking. The cache is a bison tube. Not easy to remove log sheet, so I put a string to help pull it out, but bring your own pencil.Good deal for groceries here, or stop and get your booze to take home. Please don't drink and drive.Available all year round..lots of muggles but they can be helpful hiding what you are doing..take advantage of that in the daylight, otherwise you might look suspiscious at night. If you wonder why put one in a parking lot, let me tell you. I am a senior with limited mobility..that is why you find all mine close to the paths/trail and roads. This one is put here because of the small store to shop in. Personally I do not like the big box stores when you need a day to shop to find something or a motorized cart to get around in them to find something. This store is also one that has some of the special things available that the bigger stores do not. I like smaller stores..and will drive across town to shop here.

PLANNING

This was our first full day in Vernon. I had the afternoon to myself to do some geocaching so made a list of 14 geocaches and headed out to see what would happen.

OUTCOME

11:15 am This was my first search of the day. This turned out to give me a little trouble. The container was very small and hidden behind the fence post with only a fine line indicating that it was there.

Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:

My first Vernon find. Nice hide. SL. TFTC.

Here is a photo:

I am now 1/1 for today.
