On the topic of electrical issues...

I have a outdoor outlet that doesn't seem to work. As troubleshooting so far I have:

1) Opened the outlet and confirm no power to the plug at all from the wires
2) Checked back in the circuit (to the one other outdoor plug) and confirmed power to that outlet, both going in and going out of the plug
3) Checked the circuit box and confirmed breaker is working fine (for ground fault)
4) Checked the wires running in my garage (plug not working is on the outside of the garage) and confirmed none of the wires I can see run to the faulty outlet

At this point, I'm out of ideas and not sure where to go from here. Have I exhasted all my options as amateur electrician? Is it time to call in a pro, or are there other things I can do?
