Short Circuit

Last year, when we began geocaching, Ted and I attempted this cache. The parking lot was busy and muggles were everywhere. We walked away without really getting a chance to look. Since that time Circuit City went out of business and the store stood empty. We never thought to look for the cache. A few weeks ago my friend asked me to take her caching and this site was near the restaurant where J and I would be dining. I was exciting to see it was still active. J and I never got to the cache but Ted and I managed to get there. Now, there is a dumpster nearby. Circuit City is being remodeled into a buffet. No one was around and Ted jumped out to investigate. He looked at the Handicapped Parking sign. It was the only thing near the coordinates. He even looked down the pole. He looked up at me and shrugged as he headed back to the car. It was then that I saw a very slight movement. The sign moved! I called out to him to stop and move the sign. Ted looked at me as if I had two heads but he turned and tried to move the sign. Ta da! The sign pivoted upwards by it's top bolt revealing a magnetic nano! I signed the log and Ted replaced this VERY clever hide. We are so excited with this cache find. It was one of those that made our day because we may not have found it had I note seen the very tiny movement of the sign.
