Searched in vain. We searched way way too long with no results. Maybe we will return sometime now that I have studied more past logs.

It didn't take long to spot the cache location, whip out the TOTT and sign the most "unique" log we have ever seen! On our way out we "stumbled" into Midnight Cobra and had a fun chat. It was great seeing him again! TFTC!!!

Wow I didn't think we ever find this one. Lucky someone was moving in and had the TOTT we need.

I was still munching on the bag of airline nuts I swiped from Black when we pulled up. Hmmn, something didn't feel right. My stomach felt a bit uneasy, and it was making gurgling noises. It sounded a bit like a ziploc bag full of CIP's geocoins going through the spin cycle. Dang, I should've grabbed a few barf bags from the plane. But no time to be sick, there's a threat here.
Our improvised bag of tools seems more than a bit sparse. No left-handed wrenches, no Clappers, no joy-buzzers. I'll have to fix that.. later. Right now, we've got a situation, and it looks grim. There's an FTF right *there*, and we can't take care of business.
Eventually, Daffy takes matters into his own hands. He corners some guy named Stanley and procures a tool. Not sure I've seen Daffy be so forceful before. Anyhoo, with his tool in hand, he busts open the cache and disarms the thing before Black can say "Hey, where's my bag of nuts?" I laughed so hard I almost fell down the stairs.
Case closed, another threat handled. Great work by the team. Take a look at the pic of Daffy in action. TFTC!

Although the FTFST is back in town, Central Intelligence has agreed not to deploy the team at every threat; however, this was one of 2 top priorities to squash since this FTF has been a nuisance to anyone with a todo list.
After scouring the area without our equipment...probably still sitting on the luggage carousel at Ontario airport...Agent Daffy attempted to get more information. Daffy confirmed that this was indeed inaccessible for Agent Average Joe; however, without our tools, we would have to give up. Not wanting to accept defeat, Daffy went to acquire a makeshift detector while the rest of us waited under the crescent moon.
Sure enough, the tool worked and this FTF annoyance was squashed. We snap on the lid and off we went.

Having just flown in earlier in the evening, the FTF ST was busy disarming two new threats in the area. We were tired from our long flight in, so this would be our last cache of the night. Arrived at GZ and searched for a few minutes looking in every nook and cranny. Trying to fight off the urge for some Thomason's English Muffins, I pulled out my fancy communication device and turned on the voice scrambler. This cache had us going nutty. A few clicks later the enemy's phone was ringing. A few minutes later, we had some intelligence and confirmed that we hindered ourselves by leaving our equipment going round and round the luggage carousel at the airport. The rest of the team was just about ready to call it a night and return with some equipment but I wasn't ready. I urged the team to continue on and grabbed a maintenance workers outfit from the back of Stiles transport. I bolted over to a local convoy team that was in the area for a moving exercise and asked for a tool. A little while later we were signing what we couldn't believe was the log. Shinny on one side and blank on the other. It closely resembled a Wrigley wrapper; this was a first for the team. As we returned the log to the screwy hiding location we all deemed this threat to be safe not but may not be suitable for the average Joe.

Even with the new hints, no luck this evening. Went up to the second level and looked around. There is tape and protective cardboard everywhere. Couldn't find the cache again.

I wore my construction like clothes today and went in for the find. There are still a lot of workers about. GPS put me near the curb in the parking lot, but the title of this cache had me looking at the stairs. I looked under the stairs and the mailboxes, and down as low as I could to peer underneath, but no luck. Due to the nature of the current environment, I couldn't look everywhere. So after looking everywhere I dared, I left.

Nah, no luck. Lots of contractors, caution tape and temporary materials around. I'll try again once the dust settles.
