This cache is our first so we started off simple. I drive by this location everyday and I enjoy the view of the windmill.


Be mindful of muggles and the traffic. I suggest parking one block down and walking to the cache. Bring your own pen. Feel free to message me if you need a hint.

Nice to redeem our DNF from years ago and turn the ugly blue frown on our map into a yellow smiley ! There was a little snow at GZ but able to find the cache easily.

Snowed 5 inches no problem to find

The weather has definitely changed since we first arrived back after the holidays. We made the drive over here without much of an idea of what to expect other than snow. And snow there was, aside from the streets, we were coming into about 5 inches of it after it had snowed the previous night and all into today.

So we parked around the corner with hopes that we wouldn't run into any issue here. Well with this one being hidden where it was, we did have move some snow around and there was a point where I didn't think that we'd find it but we came across it in the likely spot before getting too discouraged.

We threw a few snowballs around and then headed back into the warmth of the truck. The windmill was still during our visit.
