8:23 pm - All the signs on this one pointed to failure. I started on the wrong side of the creek and had to cross the wooden bridge. Then I dropped my lanyard pen in the creek. It helps to actually use the lanyard. In the fading daylight I looked in a few places, but got discouraged when my flashlight's batteries died. Finally, I checked one more logical spot and there it was. I should have looked there first. Phew. I headed straight home after that before my luck ran out. Thanks for the cache!
