This is a very little cache on the edge of a connector trail to the Platte River Trail. There is a new bridge that makes this trail a lot nicer. This is a log only cache and you should bring a pen to sign the log and tweezers to extract the log.

You may well wonder why the cache name. Why indeed. Well maybe it is because it sounds good. But that is not it. I bet you will know when you find it.

Nicely done. Signed log.

Thanks CFBaer for giving me a reason to get outside. It’s always worth it when you are enjoying nature. There is nothing better than acting like a kid again, digging through weeds and climbing trees, all to sign my name on a piece of paper.

Found with Cachly for IOS.

Popeye done got up and left. :(
Nice urban art and mini-waterfall though.

11:34:00 AM Out for a 30 mile bike ride with Garlic. I cheated and jumped on the light rail when the big rain storm passed. I was totally soaked and cold. The train conductor said it produced a lot of hail. Thanks! Nobody in the construction zone working today, because it was Sunday.

Replaced cache per the hint with a very small Altoona can and a scratch piece of paper I had in one of my geo mobiles in hopes to keep this one alive.

Found GC26PXK - Popeye on the Platte on May 3, 2018 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, CFBaer for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!

Couldn't find it in the likely spots, but we didn't stay long...too hot, and a little stinky from the dead skunk in the area.

Searched twice for this cache- don't get the name or the hint, and the smell of the sewer treatment area are pretty terrible, so we didn't linger.
