MASTERS OF DISGUISE

Geocaching in town presents a unique problem: How do you spend what may be an extended amount of time looking for something in full public view without attracting undue attention? This is what we hit upon: We take along a simple clipboard and clip our field notes for the cache in question to it. Along with the GPS and a few well placed comments back and forth, we totally disappear from view. Check it out:

We are subcontractors for "Eastern Electronic Services". EES provides tracking & electronic tagging and identification of underground (or above ground if we think the cache may be in an elevated hide) television cable systems.

One cache yesterday was hidden in a very busy KFC lot. I walked the area where we suspected the cache to be hidden while Sally did likewise. At one point she received a cell phone call and began a general conversation. I shouted across a couple of cars in a voice loud enough to make sure we were heard and asked if "they were sure the service was here". She shouted back that the office records and maps showed it to be right where we were located. I kept an eye on the muggles in the cars and saw that once we had become legitimate in their eyes we completely disappeared from view..
