Even though the show is right outside out front door, it's really not a problem. They have it all very well organized and they've anticipated anything that could go wrong. We haven't had any problems with extra people in the area, or with parking at the condo - it's very well patrolled.
In the afternoon we went back out west to finish the Citrus Gate Series. We almost succeeded! After we recover from gate aversion, we'll probably go back out there and find the rest of them.

I think we got tired of rubbing gates this afternoon.

LOL This is the hide we've been looking for. Signed log and left a jack. TFTS
(It was a wire down a pipe.)

The No Parking signs made us a little nervous but what are you going to do? Signed log, TFTC

The boat show and all its traffic is in our back yard so we decided we needed a break and a ride in the country. We came out here to seek a few caches. This is a very nice change of pace from running our hands up and down and all over fence gates. Very creative hide. We signed the log and left Jack Squat. TFTC
(It was in a coconut!)
Found it 01/14/2012 You found [Traditional Cache] Citrus Gate Series #3
Wow! A huge cache! Took away some trash and left our card and a punch ball. TFTC
DNF 01/14/2012 You couldn't find [Traditional Cache] Citrus Drinks
Don't know why we thought we'd be able to find it when so many others could not.
Found it 01/14/2012 You found [Traditional Cache] Citrus Gate Series #2
Very tricky. TFTC
Found it 01/14/2012 You found [Traditional Cache] Citrus Gate Series #1 - South End
We'd had enough boat show traffic so we came over to grab a few caches. TFTC
Found it 01/14/2012 You found [Traditional Cache] Lost and Found
Well, I did it again. Why take the time to find the best route to the cache when you can just bushwhack? Of course we don't have the wonderful saw palmetto in Michigan. Signed the log, it's a bit damp but still functional, took some roadside trash and left our pathtag, some skin, and a bit of blood. TFTC
(Quite a bit of blood, actually!)
Found it 01/14/2012 You found [Traditional Cache] Caitlin can see you!!!
We're thinking that Caitlin goes to the nearby school. Since we came by on a Saturday, she probably didn't see us today but we left her a prize if she visits her cache soon. The log is full so we placed a new one. Signed log and left the perfect coin for this cache.
(It was a magnetic key holder coin and it went into a magnetic key holder. Sometimes life is just fun.)
After all of this caching we were feeling a little scuzzy (and bloody) so we went back to the condo to freshen up a bit. We picked up Chinese Take Away at Pei Wei and took 5 dinners over to Chip and Laurie's. Pei Wei has Dylan's absolutely favorite food so we knew it would be a winner. Watched a little football and then came home.
