A cache along Cherry Creek Trail south of Lincoln.
This cache was named for my dad. This takes me back to when my siblings and I were kids. Back then whenever my father would be engaged in some activity or project, we would inevitably ask him what he was doing. Of course it was always completely obvious what he was doing. His repley to these inane questions was always "I'm playing bridge, with three elephants in an airplane." So this one's for you pops! When I hid this cache I just heard that phrase pop into my head for some reason. Enjoy!

Cache is a keychain pill bottle a bit smaller than a film canister.
Easiest parking is at the skate park at Twenty Mile and Plaza. If you want more of a walk, park in Challenger Park lot off Lincoln.

I'm bumping this cache up to a 3 on the difficulty for the amount of DNF's I have received on it. Many very talented cachers have had trouble with it. If you have trouble, let me know and I will help. Enjoy!

Congrats to The Green Cat & Snuggly Kitten for FTF!

Nicely done. DNSL because I couldn’t get it out.

Thanks Derczech&Sassmo 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.

Good cache! A little tricky at first as we weren't sure quite where to focus our search, but we figured it out.

I went out for a run today and of course had to stop for some caches along the way. I parked down by the reservoir and ran up this far, grabbing some caches on the way back to the car. I hope I didn’t look too weird emerging from the search area as there were some other folks taking advantage of the trail today. Nice hide. TFTC.
