Canuck1867 offered us an interesting geocaching tip after a trip to the World's Largest Candy Store in Jordan, MN. While she enjoyed the Adventure Lab there, the trip to the women's restroom was far less successful.
She immediately spotted the potential geocache container on the way out of the restroom; however, a more careful inspection of the (um, door latch?) proved to be a red herring. Still, she had to give it a try!
Her advice? There is no need to search this (um) restroom for a potential geocache.
Geocaching is nothing without a great pair of shoes. It's the containers that need to be camouflaged - not the cacher's attire! (Note the embarrassed dog).
