Dan Q found GC1CXDH Pogo Stick

Easy find once I’d spotted the “pogo stick”. This kind of container is pretty common for urban caches in the UK (where the higher building density makes good hiding places for other common containers harder to find) so I’m very used to them and expected one of these before I even reached the GZ. TFTC!

Devious! I came by for a quick hunt yesterday, but no luck, but – not wanting to be defeated! – came back again this morning for another shot at it. Like many others have logged before, it wasn’t until I started circling around before I saw the right likely hiding place. And like others, I’m sure, I was disappointed for a split second when I saw the camo and thought I’d looked in the wrong spot. But no, the cache was in my hand. Nice urban hide, TFTC.

I visited the coordinates yesterday and quickly fount the number as well as collecting the following information:
- N 37 23.340, W 121 59.198
- Garmin Montana 600
- 6m
- 3m
- Unsure
- 12
- Unsure
- ?
- Averaged samples over 5m55s using the Montana’s “Waypoint Averaging” feature
- No
This morning, on my way to the second day off my conference, I swung by the cache itself. It was immediately obvious where it would be hidden, but getting to it in spite of muggles and the morning traffic was a little harder! Got there in the end. Greetings from Oxford, UK!

Turns out my earlier DNF was not for lack of dexterity but strength. I’d touched the cache, multiple times, but it hadn’t budged when I pushed it pulled it and so I’d assumed it wasn’t the cache but something fixed in place. A nagging thought as I walked away brought me back and soon the cache was in hand. SL.

No luck despite an extended hunt. Pretty confident that I know where it is, but my fingers are neither slim nor nimble enough to retrieve it.

I’m attending a conference next door so I stepped out at lunchtime – braving the heat! – to find this cache. I spent a while looking in all the wrong places but it wasn’t until I stepped way, way back that I spotted something that looked like it didn’t belong, and seconds later the cache was in my hand. (The thing it’s in contact with is painfully hot to touch in this weather, though!)
Greetings from Oxford, UK. TFTC!
