Well, I was searching for one of Zuma’s Yellowstone Trail caches in Racine, that involved a puzzle at a church. One of the questions involved “the number of sides of the steeple”. The steeple itself was hexagonal, but had 4 clock faces. Since it had 6 sides, I inserted 6 into the puzzle coordinates, which put me 1000 feet north of the actual container location, in a giant juniper bush, roughly 10 feet from the street and 10 feet from the driveway. I dug into the bush and was lying there searching with my feet hanging out. Someone passing by thought I was a dead body and called the cops. That was quite an explanation, as it was early in the game and most people didn’t know about geocaching, plus, I couldn’t find the container to show them. To this day, I now avoid Juniper bushes.
