This is our second hide. It is near our second home. It is hidden in a very small park in Cannery Village right down the street from the new location of the Arches.

Original items in cache are: $1 for the FTF, compass, coasters, 2 fun zone tickets, shark wash cloth, pog, brad, log book and pencil.

Cache is still here. It has never left, but it took the youngest cacher in our team to locate it! I have posted a better hint, but it is a spoiler!

Thought this would be a quick find since the park is so small but I almost needed a hint to locate the hint [:i]. Thanks for the hide.

Thought I would go out today and find some stragglers that I had missed while getting the 2 new ones (2TF on both!!).

Would never have found this without the clue. This might be the smallest park, but it is very busy!!

Makes it easier with five geocachers looking for one cache. It didn't have a chance. Well, that and the new hint helped out a lot.

That's a park? I've seen lots of backyards that were bigger, although probably not in Newport. I think I'm gonna find a similar spot, and name it after... me! ;-) TFTC!

This is quite the interesting "park" I didn't even know this was here. TFTC.

[The Cache is still here, decrypt the log for a better hint. It has always been here, our 11 year old cacher found it where she had placed it]

East side of park. In the low brush / ground cover 2 feet from the small sprinkler

I will check on this one, however I am on vacation so it may take me a week or so.
