A quick stop before an early morning swim was a perfect time for a quick park and grab - in thought - until cyclist muggles approaching as I was about to return it. Still got done and the first of 2024 in the log. Needed my tweezers to extricate both the cache and the log.Great hide and thanks for the cache.

This was my second attempt at this one - the first time I was short on time but this time my GPS took me straight to it and I saw it without even looking Smile
 
Last cache for today. Walked on up to the sign and thought "there's hundreds of places for a micro here!" Searched around for a little bit and after five minutes, finally saw the cache. SL as Q-6 and replaced. TFTC
