Geocache: Return to the bush

There are geocaches you just don't find when you first search for them. This one was one of those, and this one was far from home, a few thousands kilometers far, and I still went back and found it.

The geocache is just there in the bush, and still missed the first time
I do not have a chance to visit Olive Branch in Mississippi too often and when I go I try to find a few geocaches. On my last trip I decided to give another try to this one, it was not any high difficulty nor difficult terrain it was just one where I had to run away last time, police started to show interest in my search. I was not a too experienced geocacher, and I was all by myself so when I saw that police pulled over and kept an eye on me, I just acted the most suspiciously and jumped back into my car and drove away... Worst you should ever do ... haha

The bush hiding the geocache
It was a nice and sunny morning, nothing to do, my flight was later in the afternoon, and I was busy with finding ammo boxes around in the Memphis area, when this dot on the map showed a DNF. I looked at the logs many people found it since I did not, so I thought if they could I should be able as well. I drove to the location, and of course there was a car parking close by with someone in it, but as it was my last day in the USA on this trip I thought, what could I loose, I'm not running away again, if needed I'll explain to the guy what am I doing. It was not neccessary, when I started wandering around with my tabled in my hand he smiled and nodded with his head, just like keep on searching I know what you are after. After a few minutes he drove away and said, good luck.

See me? Taking the picture of the row of bushes
This cache was close to the car rental place, if the people there know about the geocache, they must have fun while they see many geocachers digging all around and not finding it for a long time.

Lots of parking places next to the geocache
What is really enjoyable while geocaching in the USA is that most of the time finding a place to park your car is not really a problem at all.

When I finally found the geocache in the bush first thought I had was: WHO WOULD PLACE THAT SMALL GEOCACHE IN A BUSH? and then something came to my mind... Spider in the tree did you read that post by me? Yes, I know who would do such thing, that is me. I have a hide just like this, and a few of the geocachers keep on going back there and need a few visits before they finally spot it.

Why the bush why not the pole
Back when we started playing geocaching we tried a few other hides in bushes and since we did not like it too much. They can just be too difficult, but if we DNF one we go back till it is found. You see that pole with all different cables going up and into the ground? I thought maybe I did not take it apart good enough to spot it there, but the difficulty was not that high.

Many thanks for the CO for the hide, and also for one of the logs for the hint that made it a quick find on the second try.
