My house backs up to the East Reservoir. In fact, my house basically backs up to this hide! (It's the one in the "corner." [I mean my house, not the cache wink]) I have enjoyed many hikes around this short (about 1 mile) loop. I got inspired to place geocaches here (four in total) because @dtvman placed two (though he has since archived one to make room for one of mine). You can't park your car too near this hide. I'd recommend picking one of the others and then doing a loop around the reservoir to bag five caches in a short period of time! Enjoy your hike, enjoy the views, and happy geocaching smiley Maybe you'll even catch me in my yard and we can say hello to each other!

Pay attention to the name of the cache for your hint, but don't take it literally! The cache is preloaded with some low cost, but fun trinkets. Feel free to take one if you also leave one. The cache is flat (that's a good hint for how it's hidden) and thin (which is another good hint about how it's hidden). It's a plastic CD case (that is meant to hold only a single CD). So, don't expect to leave anything large.

Edit: I have upgraded the difficulty as it seems that maybe the hide wasn't as obvious as I thought it was.

Edit 2: I have just checked the cache again and I see that a finder has upped the difficulty by camouflaging it. When I placed it, I hadn't done this. I think the cache is much more fun to find now, though. I have upped the difficulty one more notch.

Edit 3: I have updated this description and have included some hints in the process.

 Hints

[See hints above first] The view is in the opposite direction of where the cache is hidden. If you're sitting you won't see the cache. If you look at where you sit you will probably stare right at the hide.

I decided to go for a walk before happy hour. This lake made for a great destination to find the four new caches! Waved hello and moved north. Cheers!

Not at all what I was expecting. Made it harder than it needed to be.

@geoguru1 I'm glad you came back and found it this time! I have removed the available in winter; that's something I had selected when I made the cache ridiculously easy to find. It's definitely significantly more challenging than it was at first, though it technically is still available in winter. The snow could just end up adding another level of challenge.
