Cigam At The Wash by cigam_mai (1/1)
N33° 39.217 W117° 44.497 (WGS84)
UTM 11S E 431236 N 3723997
Use waypoint: GCRZNE
Size: Micro Hidden on 1/12/2006
In California, United States
Difficulty:
Terrain: 
| The cache is a very small container, IN PLAIN SIGHT, with just a log to sign. It is not hidden in anything. DO NOT climb any fences! A normal adult will have no trouble reeling this one in. Depending on your size, it’s probably smaller than your thumb. Please remember to close the container REALLY tightly, otherwise it may come apart. |
I thought I’d place a little challenge here for those of you in the area sampling the range of delights to be found in the Spectrum. It is especially fun at night, because from this location you can see the wheel, the searchlights, and the obelisk. Leading into various holidays, the obelisk has pictures projected onto its sides; it is also a clever disguise for one of the area’s cell phone towers.
If you are in the right location, you should also have a fine view of a (normally) dry wash. Except for the part about us re-engineering nature, it’s usually not much to look at, but you should see AND hear it during a heavy rain.
For the fun of the game, PLEASE take the time to re-hide this cache EXACTLY as you found it… and make sure it is screwed together REALLY tight!
Just For Fun Department: 130 feet north of the cache location is a Waste Management Facility with an unusual address.

While I looked over here, Cache'n'Carey looked over there and I heard those 'cigam' words, I found it! Sure blends in well! TFT$-

Well, I'm not sure most people would call me "normal" (or an adult, sometimes), but I had no problem finding the cache and reeling it in. Found with aka Diana. TFTC

Out for an afternoon shopping trip with Queenie. A couple quick first find for Queenie, she seemed to enjoy the hunt, I hope to get her out again soon.

Had this one on my radar for a few weeks, and finally got out caching with 4x4x5 Hunters during lunch. Excellent non-hide. Even in plain site, this cache is not obvious. TP

Love this cache! Very clever hide and I want to know where I can get a container like that! Our son spotted this one. Don't give up if you can't find it! Just keep your eyes open for all possibilities.
