As I got to the bottom of the hill to park, there were 6 County police cars in the church lot. They had their trunks open but I assumed they were there for training or something. I parked at the end of Larry's road and proceeded to the cache. I thought it would be muddy, and it was! I enjoyed the walk anyway, even UP the hill. I left a pickup truck (small one) and took nothing. As I drove back by the church lot it was packed with 20-25 police cars and a crime scene truck. Police cars were even parked on the roads. Everyone had fatigues or SWAT gear on. I passed 6 more cars as I was driving back up the hill. I felt good that I found the cache, rehid it, and didn't get spotted, or shot. Either it's a HUGE training exercise or something is going down. Placeman, thanks for an interesting day. RGS
