About a month ago, I decided I would try to find this cache on a Friday night, about 6:30 pm, before I went to the grocery store. As I am driving around, trying to find it, and end up driving through a not-so-good neighborhood. Finally, I find the spot to park, get out of the car and walk down the trail. There are no cars and nobody around. I get to the sign, figure out the coordinates, and am walking through the tall weeds, about 50 feet from gz, when I hear a police siren blurb. I knew it came from where I parked my car, so I go running out of the woods. Sure enough, there is a police car behind mine, with one officer still in the car, and the other is walking around my car checking it out. I run out, waving my arms and shouting, "I'm right here!". He, of course, asks me what I am doing, so I explain all about geocaching to him. He doesn't seem confused or perplexed by it, so perhaps he had heard of it before. He tells me that they patrol regularly around here, as it is not a very safe area, and they have had problems before. He also tells me that they got a call of shots fired about 20 minutes beforehand, and someone mentioned a red Cavalier driving around. (I was driving a red cavalier). I am visibly shaken, but he tells me it is alright, that I could go back down if I wanted to. By now, I am spooked, so I just got in my car and left. Did not post a DNF on that one, since I didn't get close enough to look. I will go back, but I will bring my geocaching buddy and my husband for this one!
