Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!

On a recent walk with my family a newly installed piece of roadside hardware made me laugh and the idea for this puzzle was born. The puzzle is simple and should only require a little time with your favorite search engine. The hide is also very simple and not my favorite place to hide or find them but when you see the location you will understand why I chose it.

You are looking for an odd shaped magnetic nano that I received as a Christmas gift. Safe parking is available within 200 feet in either direction. If you stumble upon any other interesting "World's Shortest..." trivia and feel like sharing, please include it in your log. Have fun!
