Jim's branchyness

Woohoo! {FTF} at 9:20.

I’m really surprised this hadn’t already been found! I got to the park around 8:15. As I pulled in to turn around and park, the driver of a black pickup waved a friendly greeting. I smiled and waved back, but grimaced internally. He was parked facing GZ so I knew I needed to either kill some time or become a Level 20 stealth expert. It’s hard enough for this 6’5, 300 lb. cacher to be stealthy at all, let alone on a bright sunny morning directly in front of someone, so I opted for the easier path.

I put the finishing touches on the description and submitted for publication the listing of a new puzzle cache (GC8PM32); no movement from the truck or its occupant. I got in some steps by walking a lap around the park; no movement, and now he’s smoking a cigarette and listening to a talk show on the radio. Is he Neighborhood Watch?! Is he another cacher waiting on me to leave?! I’m totally free for the rest of the morning, Black-Pickup Guy, so bring it!

I grabbed a book from the myrthmobile (The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes) and sat defiantly at the picnic table immediately to B-PG’s left. I nearly completed “The Five Orange Pips” before he finally—FINALLY!—departed. I quickly finished the remaining page or so of the story and then set about searching. It wasn’t long at all after that before the log was signed and the cache rehid. By the way, it was the butler, in the study, with the candlest—oops! Wrong mystery!! 😉

Thank you, ____sirjaysmith. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21
