Oh honey, lets just grab one....

Ya, we all know that false truth. When you tell the wife that you just want to go grab one or two caches and come home. Just get one by your home and crash for the evening.
It never works that way, and well you always take a few more miles and a few more caches to end the evening.

Tonight was no exception for us. We decided to grab a local cache that we hadn't been after. So we headed out and arrived. Neighborhood muggles abound at this location and the cache hasn't been found in some time. So it was a risk cache and we knew it.
After plucking the COORDS, we found they were off, so far off that the cache should have been in the middle of the field. Logs past indicated the GPS showed this to be way off, but others had found it. Quickly we settled on a prime location, but massive poison ivy and overgrowth prevented us from grabbing it. So we stuck it on the "for winter" grab list.
We decided to head down the road a little to grab another 2 caches close together. Our arrival found more muggles, which is the expected norm for us. We decided to park and walk, but the grass was grown hip high, and we decided to wait this one out too, simply because of the growth around the cache site. Remember, these would be a quick grab type night!

Moving on we decided to check out the new wildlife park, and it was well worth it. The park has 2 caches, but we only logged in on one, the other was off trail and having a kid in the stroller didn't allow for this one. So we moved on, but we saw a few creatures stirring!

Moving into town, the first cache was again, MUGGLE HAVEN, so marking the east/north coords we found them to be WAY off. This cache hasn't been found in several months and the owner is MIA anyway. It was in a major muggle zone and has been muggled several times in the past. So, we move on.
Arriving the next spot, we needed a good one, sure enough, a quick glance and we have it. Sign the log and move on. Next, we visit David Letterman's alley, this was one of the better caches I have seen in some time. The log was packed and we signed the best we could. We moved on, and though cool, next!

We decided to visit a location of previous inquiry, and sure enough, nothing new. I don't believe this one to be there either! More muggle traffic left us to say we would return later.
Another cache location and the COORDS aren't even close. Not the first clue, but another park cache that left us saying not today.
The kids started getting restless so we moved to the last cache. It was a nice grab and we moved on home. Sorta makes you feel good to log 4 more on the day!
