Hartsel's Store

A micro between shopping and a local trail
The second cache I every tried, my first micro find and the first find with my pirates was right in this area: GCMB3V "dirt's little buddy".
Not knowing much about the game, I tried a micro as my second search. It did take a long time, luckily the hide wasn't too bad and the clue was very good. Unluckily, the cache got muggled not that many months after, and was eventually archived by the admins.
Well, I've always felt this was a nice area for a caches, and I finally got a chance to place one. We hid this one so that it may be a bit challenging, we hope. Enjoy searching! Try to be careful of muggles seeing too much - and please hide it back the way you found it!

Hartsel Dr. is the name of the road that goes around the mall - if you've ever checked you receipt from the K.S. Grocery Store, you will see Hartsel as the address. A little play on words, and you get the name of the cache :)
Also on the receipt, you will notice TXP - pay extra taxes at this KS

We were in Colorado visiting family for the holiday and this shopping area was near where they lived. We weren't doing much out and about on Christmas Eve, so I decided to have a little (really cold) walk and see if I could find nearby caches. This was the only one I found, and I was very grateful it was pretty easy. If not for the cold I would have gone for more, but I could no longer feel my fingers and toes so I headed back.
