Mirror Witch

Easy terrain in industrial office building area. Permission has been granted to place cache on this property. No bushwacking necessary. Near wheelchair access, but had to elevate the terrain higher due to the landscape layout.




Mirror Mirror, which way is the niche--who's daring enough to test the witch? This cache is located in front of a window of an office building that casts back a reflection during certain hours of the day. The reflection is such that you can't see through the two-way mirror-like window,--similar to suspects in a police lineup. Early and late hours are best so that muggles are not in the area, and during those hours you can see through the window for assurance that you are not being watched.

If you should dare this one during normal working hours, don't fear the wicked witch that sits inside that window--I've already alerted her to potential landscaper "visitors" that might smile at her from close range, and she promises not to turn them into toads.

You're going to have GPS problems in this area with coordinates bouncing around. I averaged the coordinates and sometimes they are right on.

Cache is concealed office supplies container, with room for small swag items. Emergency batteries for your GPSr might be found here. If you've been to the nearby Grate Outdoors (GC108TC), you'll know what to look for.

Please replace cache as you found it, so that landscapers do not disturb. I did notice that camo is way better at night than during the day, which balances out the Mirror Witch risk, since she might not be there at night.

CONGRATULATIONS to nonaeroterraqueous and cache_in_pocket for getting to the cache in less than an hour after posting. The Mirror Witch won't be happy to hear that her cache has been disturbed before she arrives at work on monday.

Why is it that even when I knew where to look and what I was looking for it took me forever to see it?QuestionQuestion I was sure glad the MW was not there on Sunday afternoon, or at least I don't think she was there. Anyway, thanks for the fun cache. SL. Ycats.

This one is a couple of hundred feet from my office. Now, *that's* convenient. Went by just after sunset, which made it easy for me to see inside the building. ;-) Good camo, it took me a few to find it. TFTC!
