#1 in what I hope to be a long series of phobia based caches.

Agyrophobia: Abnormal and persistent fear of crossing streets, highways and other thoroughfares; fear of thoroughfares themselves.

Sufferers experience anxiety even though they realize that streets, highways and other thoroughfares pose no threat commensurate with their fear.

Formed from the Greek "gyrus" (turning or whirling) and the Greek "phobos" (fear). The first letter, "a," is privative--that is, it creates a negative. Thus, an agyrophobiac shuns or avoids the whirl of traffic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At various times I have been driving by and have seen people just sitting on the guardrailand wondered what they are doing there. Come to find out, this place is actually an RTD bus stop, although I would never send my kids there unsupervised.

There is no parking at the cache, but pleanty of parking nearby. To get to this cache, you will need to cross a minimum of 8 lanes, and as many as 10 lanes of traffic. There are crosswalks and signals to get you there, so please us them and be careful.
Once you safely navigate the intersection, no need to be on the street.
Micro, BYOP.

I've had my eye on this geocache for quite a while. But I've seen that was never out right position to go for it. Today I parked in nearby and went over to the coordinates. I searched 30 ft each way of where my GPS is zero doubt. No luck. Then I contacted a previous finder and confirmed my suspicions of where the cash should have been. I scrubbed around in the dirt but couldn't find the container. No luck today...
