This is NOT a real expedition log! It is part of a Geocache.

Location
Small strip of public land near a bowling alley in Brookfield, WI.
Participants
Plans
When I woke up this morning and looked up the day's coordinates, I was happy to see that the spot was not only on my way home from work, but there was a geocache at the same spot!
Expedition
As soon as work wrapped up for the day, I headed out.
Approaching the location, there was some commotion. It looks liked construction was going on nearby. I parked on a nearby street and walked into the little wooded strip of public land immediately adjacent to a parking lot. The tree cover was throwing off my GPS and I had to wander around a bit to be sure I knew where the exact spot was.
While I was wandering the area, I saw a pole coming out of a concrete base. Attached to the pole was a box with letters on it. I found the geocache without even really looking for it! The letters were the GC code for the cache. I signed the log and moved on.
Once I was sure I had the right spot, I took a few pictures and a screen capture of my GPS for proof.
Not a bad excursion!
