You might be scratching your head wondering what in the Geocaching world is a P.A.W. cache! Let me break it down for you and hopefully they will be fun caches to do. The "P" stands for PUB Hopping! No, not the brewery kind, the Public Utility Box, usually painted green, that are everywhere there is power transmitted, whether overhead or underground. These electrical junction boxes allow the utility company to reduce the voltage before sending it to the house/business/end user of the power grid. They are also screaming out for a cache to be placed ON or NEAR them.

So what does P.A.W. mean? It means 'P'UB Hopping 'A'round 'W'estminster! Urban caching is different in that it's hard to hide a five gallon bucket or an ammo can or a bird house, and have it last longer than a day or two. Therefore, we resort to LPC, Power Poles and other ingenous ways to hide small caches that the curious will just overlook.

This is an easy cache, but bring your own writing instrument!
