DinaWorks: The skirt has been gone for awhile and it looks like the replacement cache is now too. It's sad to archive my second ever find but the time has come.

Geocache Description:

I just can't believe no one else has put this one out yet!

This is the latest in a series (kinda) of caches, in the barest sense of the word. THIS one's even so bad, I'm not even gonna write a new description - Just gonna copy and paste from the original. Gosh does that stink...

There's really nothing to it. Just a log. Nothing special. Just a plain old micro. Nothing special about it at all. Not a thing. It's barely placeable.

I'm even going to tell you where it is! Imagine that. It's under a lamp skirt. Huh. No decryption necessary. We're cutting out the middle man! That way, you old schoolers can't even justify it by saying you decrypted it by hand.

Now, I'm not going to tell you not to log this cache. I'm not going to "dare" you into ignoring it, or proving your worth by not coming after it. But I am going to place it. It is after all, a smiley. But honestly, there's a whole forest preserve a mere 3 blocks away which offers much more suitable caches. They probably carried gunpowder at one time. They probably even have McDonalds toys in them!

Not this one. No gun powder. No toys. Just a log. Not even a log really. Just lines on a piece of paper. That's it. Completely unremarkable.

So come get it! You know you want to...
