The Bicycle Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

La Griffe: Hi all, though this location still holds a bit of nostalgia for me, I've decided to archive this cache simply because I can't come up with a new location as the immediate area contains no features that interest me. I won't hide anything as pedestrian as an ornament in some foliage, or a micro planted somewhere on a piece of signage - not that there's anything wrong with those type of hides. I just don't see the need for another one as there's already so many out there.

For those that found this cache, congrats, thanks for playing. For those that haven't had an opportunity to look for it... sorry!

I had plans for more cool-atypical-fun hides in the works, but the NY reviewer/s have made it abundantly clear to me that a cache description page should be written the way they want it to be written. Apart from the guidelines already established, this means no stories, anecdotes, opinions or other such "fluff". This seems puzzling to me as just about every other cache page contains the aforementioned "no no's". It's my opinion that a cache page is a huge part of the caching experience as it affords one to share things and learn about things. Simply writing factual info about where and how the cache is hidden doesn't interest me and at this point I'd rather not hide anything than have to enter another discourse with the opinionated powers that be.

Geocache Description:


  Since my current social calendar is at the moment... wide open, I often spend my nights riding either my motorcycle or my bicycle. Each has their own appeal to me, but if I'm riding a bicycle and I'm not hunting caches, I tend to wax nostalgic and visit the places that have up until recently only lived in my memory.

   For those that have done my "Ham & Eggs" cache, you might remember that I had mentioned Mae, my first love. Well, this is the neighborhood that she lived in. I had to laugh out loud when I saw that our tree was still there and it felt comfortable. Unfortunately, Mae no longer lives here. She moved to LA long ago, but it's nice to know that I can just jump on my 2 wheels and revisit the neighborhood for her (although that's not a request I've heard her make). As a convenient coincidence, this particular part of my new hometown is lacking in caches so...

  The cache is located at an intersection of quiet residential streets and a main thoroughfare that boarders Eisenhower Park. I decided to make this one a bit easier to find for you folks. Parking is abundant, but please be careful crossing any streets. This cache is available 24-7. You're looking for a camo'd container that contains a log only. It's about the size of a small prescription bottle. I'll be leaving 4 quarters and a crane for the FTF. After you sign the log, please return it AS BEST AS YOU CAN to it's original hiding position. Thanks and happy hunting!
