Geocache miss

I tried to place a travel bug while I was in Ohio ... found a cache that I knew where it would be (in general) and it should have been easy. Well, I was wearing Birks and had to climb down an eroded hill, through some underbrush, and look under a big rock. I followed the hint, too, but couldn't find it. I even poked around with a stick. But all I got was dirty and bug bit. So I still have this TB that I've had way too long. I'm going on a hunt this weekend to find a place for it, even if it just ends up in the cache I picked it up from.
