badlands: Apparently one of the neighbors has taken an interest in all the activity around this tree. When I stopped by to check I could see someone stand up in the window of a nearby house and then move out to their yard. I walked down the trail a piece and sure enough the gentleman came out to the trail to see where I had gone.
Well I liked the hide and I liked the spot, but sometimes it's better to let one go than to disturb the people living in the area. So with that I'll archive this cache and thank all who visited.
