xophe: I'll open up the area, as there is not really much room for a cache like the original. It's amazing no-one even found it...

2:30.

I was in the area tonight on my way to another of those impossible candcfamily caches, when suddenly this one popped up. The title and the difficulty rating caught my attention: could it be my first FTF on a candcfamily cache!?

So I make a little detour and soon realize that I'm low on gas and won't be able to make it without refueling. I stop at a gas station and have to wait an absurdly long time in line to get some gas. Meanwhile, I picture the FTF vanishing in the night. Finally I'm on my way again and park nearby the cache. No one in sight, I'm still hopeful for my FTF.

I walk to the cache location in the dark and pull out my flashlight, only to realize that the switch was left on and the battery is now dead. I start to look for the cache anyway, hoping I can feel it more than I can see it, when suddenly a beam of light shines on me crawling in the bushes on my hands and knees. There stands a police officer who soon starts asking the usual questions and as I try explaining geocaching, he tells me he had run my license plate number in his computer and found out that I have been sighted several times in the past doing this activity in Alameda.

I assume he thought that was an activity suspicious enough to deserve more explanations than just a casual talk because he decides to give me a ride in his cruiser to the police station, a first for me! As we arrive in the station somewhat crowded with the usual suspects for that time of the night, it dawns on me that I'll have to spend more time in there than I initially thought.

The officer shows me the entrance to the cell and grants me the usual "one phone call". Since I don't how they can monitor that with cell phones with data plans these days, I decide to use my precious phone call to post my DNF. I'm starting to feel a sense of doom for this cache tonight. Heck, if I can't find a cache in the dark on my first try, then it can't possibly be a 1 star cache. As for the claims on this page, well, I want my money back.
