GC7CHW2 Traditional Cache It's Not a Park- It's a "Cache" Basin #2!

Available at all times  Parking available 

This is the second in a series.  When the Smoky Hill neighborhoods were developed decades ago it included several small neighborhood parks nestled away among the houses, most not on a city street.  Not sure if this was originally supposed to be one of those.

What it is now is a catch (cache) basin for rainwater control.  This cache is an X-small camo'd container that initially contains a log, pencil, customized wooden FTF coin, and a few random treasures.  Field has been recently mowed but I expect there will be times during the summer when the grass and weeds get pretty high. Parking is available on both sides of the cache basin.

Congratulations to Kroozer for FTF! 10/9/17 Bumped the difficulty up a 1/2 point based upon how hard it has been to find

In Aurora today getting a bunch of your INVASIONS caches. Loved each of them and had a great morning finding them. Thanks for the smileys and fun time. Your INVASIONS are so much more fun than 2 other hiders ha

Apparently I am no longer able to find a cache without being accompanied by the lovable and always cheerful herndonrd. Today was no exception, as I was out and about caching with herndonrd simply because I make him look good. Usually, he finds the caches while I look in all the wrong places. We were on a special mission today as he had already found every cache we searched for, and acted as my geo-sherpa today. I appreciated the assistance as I was aiming to find exactly 28 caches to satisfy the requirements of one of the many challenges I signed eons ago. This one was right where the cache owner (i.e. you) left it.

Hooray!

After we did the whole sign and replace thing here we celebrated our victory by hopping back into the car and driving off to another one. Thanks for the fun hide and for getting me outside on such a beautiful day.

P. S. No animals (humans or otherwise) were harmed in the writing of this log.

Got a nastygram from the website so went out to check after it got above zero. Right where it is supposed to be. Bumped up the D and T a 1/2 point each since it still seems hard to find and with snow on the ground the terrain can be tricky. Please place container and everything else back exactly as you found them because there are a lot of kids in the area during the summer. If you want another hint just message me. Please understand that I don't have a smart phone so the answer is unlikely to be NRT.
