Geocache Description:

Saw a hole on the map where there were no geocaches in the Rockville area. This is a simple, low key cache.

**It has been awhile since I originally placed this cache. Because the vegetation has grown a bit, and judging by the find/not found ratio, I have increase the Difficulty and Terrain ratings. I believe too the hidding spot may have changed slightly from my original spot. So the original coordinates may be a tad off. This also means the spoiler may or may not be accurate. In the near future I will visit the site, see if I can find it...:)**

**Tried to visit the cache, but as I suspected couldn't find it. The hidding spot has changed a bit from it's original location. Because I couldn't find it, I could not confirm the container type. There's still lots of people finding this one so I won't change or archive it. I will try again later to find it and get new coordinates. I will likely do this over the winter when the leaves fall.

Original Text:
The cache container is a clear tennis ball container. The coordinates are fairly easy to get to, with some sticker bushes and brush in the way. The container maybe considered well hidden since most of it is not visable, and the part that is, (the lid) is green. I hope some of the white paper inside makes it a little more visable. As far as contents, there isn't much treasure. I just couldn't find items small enough to fit inside. I will likely upgrade the container and contents later.

This cache is located near a popular attraction for Rockville. In fact, there was a wedding there while I was placing the cache...which made me change the location were I originally wanted to place the cache. There's parking there, and is the easiest approach, and not too much walking distance. There is a hill however, which can be a strain on the ankles, but that doesn't last for long.

By the way, this is my first cache I've placed on my own. After 20 finds, I figured I'd better start adding some too.
