This cache is directly responsible because of the Mary Poppins Challenge Cache (GC58TFW).  The Mary Poppins challenge is similar to other alphabet challenges where you must spell out word(s) using the first letter of your found cache name.  Interestingly enough, when you need the letter “X” there aren’t that many caches out there for you to try and find.  Hence this cache.  It is my gift to the geocaching world to present you with the opportunity to get a letter “X”.  Please place the cache back the way you found it.

The cache is along the back of a disc golf course.  There is a section that is more secluded from the main disc golf course to minimize muggles.  There are many access point to this park so you can park along the side of the street (Jimmie Camp Road) and take the short hike into the park, just be ware of flying frisbee’s.

There must not be enough cell towers in this area, I have tried three different phone apps with varying degrees of closeness. I recommend using a traditional GPS unit and also using the hint. Adding a tic up on difficulty because of this.

Congrats to R&B CO on the FTF less than 1 hour after being published!

SB 54 still a few hours away, just catching in some gc'ng beforehand. Getting to the cache proved to be a bit hazardous, flying disks all over. Got it, thanks.

I will check this out. I know there seems to be a problem with the spots on GPS and the phone apps. Thanks for the feed back from others.
