Running out of easy local caches!

Aside from the single car family issue that we're dealing with right now, I'm bumping into a problem that's really impacting how often I get to go out and cache.

I have run out of easy, local caches on any of the routes that I use to travel to and from both work sites.

Exhibit A - the caches near where I live:


The one green icon cache on the map is called Cookies, and it's currently disabled. I even went looking for it after 3 people with over 10,000 finds between them logged DNFs.

Exhibit B - the caches near where I work:


In this case, I have everything that's close to work, and the ones that are within my longer range driving area are all ones that I need to devote some time to, and right now, with one car, I'm not even taking lunch breaks  so as not to log too few hours at work.

I like that I've managed to pick up all of the shopping center LPCs and guard rail caches along the Blue Route and Rt. 320, and all of the easy hides along Lancaster Ave., but now that I've had a few weeks with almost no caching time, I really miss being able to just stop by something on the way to work.  Sure, those type of hides are not exactly a challenge, but they are still caches, and they still require stealth and ingenuity to pick them up.  Without practice I fear that I'll soon revert back into my normal bumbling giant ways and have to start over from scratch again.

I guess I'm really just whining, and on top of that, I really miss caching.  Blogging about caching is a poor substitute for getting out and finding caches, but it's all I have at the moment I guess.

Oh well, whining session over.  With the holidays right around the corner I'm pretty busy outside of work anyway, and at least I get to focus on my plans for my new hides.  I've been planning a really neat multi hide, and if I'm trapped in the house I may as well make the most of it.
