Yay...I get to post after joefrog. F&AM Pentalpha Lodge #804, Saraland, AL 32° AASR, Valley of Mobile

From what I have read here, you should get in the right area. Finding the cache is going to be a bit tougher though. I know this cache, it is about 10 mi. from my house, and took me two trips to get it. If you need any more help with it, shoot me an email. I will help you as much as I can without giving away the cache.

Sometimes folks assume you are doing the same thing they are. My dad was taking me and my brother-in-law around where he lives introducing us to geocaching. On the last leg of our first multi, we weretramping around out in the woods along a nice hiking path. An older fellow and young boy started to approach us, so we decided to hide the gps and try to look inconspicuous. When he got close, he told us not to worry, he was doing the same thing we were. We though, "hey cool, 2 more sets of eyes to help find this thing". So we pull the gps back out and start to look around some more. That is when I noticed the guys was just standing there. I motioned to my brother-in-law, and that was when we realized he was NOT doing the same thing we were. He was over there releaving himself on what I hoped was not the cache location. Luckily it wasn't. Now, I normally keep a camera in my vehicle. In heavy muggle areas, I use taking pictures as an excuse. Used it today as a matter of fact. Had a cache near an old church, so I parked my truck between the church and the cache. After replacing the cache and about to leave, the pastor started to approach us. I quickly grabbed my camera and when asked if I was lost told her I had heard about the 100 yr old church. I was then given a history lesson and a tour of the church. I later told her about geocaching and was informed that some of the kids found the original cache and she was happy to know exactly what they had found.
