[FTF] 03-11-2020 at 5:43 pm. I was sitting at Sonic with WAMB and 2lablovers when Sue's eyes lit up. It wasn't from Corona virus or a sudden restocking of toilet paper in the local Walmart. It was an FTF less than 3 miles away. We slammed down our drinks and took off half milk drunk. Once at the GZ I realized this was a Jinxer05 cache. Hmmm, coords should be good, but as long as we find the cardboard container before it turns to mush in the rain, we will be OK. One complication - some muggle teen 420's at a nearby bench. We waited and then realized that they looked as all of us as a bunch of kookie old people. We weren't even on their radar. So we stumbled toward the GZ. I have a bum knee and George has a golden hand hidden in a gardener's glove, so we were a motley lot, staggering through the weeds.
Now the hunt! We circled and looked and poked and prodded. I spotted the container, but waited to make the others suffer, too. We opened it up and I wasn't surprised by what I found - a log sheet made from torn jail paperwork. Jinxer, how do you have time to get in so much trouble between helping birth babies and geocaching? I'll never know. Anyway, the hiding spot seemed pretty good. Maybe too challenging for the likes of HerndonRD or Out14nd3r, so I made it easier. I spray painted (I just so happen to keep a can of neon orange pain in my jacket) an arrow pointing toward the container. Then in extra large letters, so Fearthefish can read it, I wrote "SECRET CACHE HIDDEN HERE." I hope that helps future cachers.
Thanks for the cache. Here's a fav!

Nice to see new hides in this area! Ran into herndonrd on the way to make the find. Signed log. Thanks for the cache!

Lovely little walk to this one. The cattails will be turning green soon enough.

This trip turned into Geocaching meet-up day as I had seen OUT14ND3R at the other cache and met Kroozer walking to this cache as I was walking back to the car. I guess if you're 5'3" you don't have to "bend over" for this one. Nice hide! TFTC!

I didn’t see Lostindenver’s stamp on the blank log, not sure he was actually there.
Thanks Jinxer05 for Creekside Cottonwoods Cache
