This past weekend I went out and dropped a cache (GC9D7A, Tiger Hollow)here
in Columbia along what seemed like a pleasant dirt road/jogging trail. It's
just south of the MU basketball arena, and a few hundred yards downhill from
where they're building a new arena. You could kind of see the edge of the
bulldozed construction zone from the cache, but it was quite a ways away, so
I figured it was no problem. I even visited it again Monday afternoon to
drop off some more goodies, and other than the container being out in the
open nothing seemed amiss.
Two days later, a cacher logged a 'not found' indicating they'd been run off
by the police while searching for it. Alarmed, I emailed them and got the
full scoop:
Mark,
Mon eve we went in from the Hearns center and could
not get to it. Tue we went in from the other side, up
the private road [NOTE: actually now a public trail]. We were right on it when the police came and told us we were in a blasting zone and had to leave. He said there was going to be blasting for the next 20 days and they were patrolling the gravel road to keep people out. We had to explain why we were there and went thru the 3rd degree before they let us go.
