Geocache Description:

A picture puzzle cache which will have you occupied while your spouse/significant other spends some cash.

Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates.

BYOP

Ah, we've all either seen one, or been one. You know, that tag-a-long spouse/significant other... the one either willfully or begrudgingly being dragged from shop to shop... well now is your turn to either be one, or have one... The village idiot series is dedicated to those shopping wing men/women. This series is placed in shopping villages where specialty shops rule, and tag-a-longs drool. (As they fall asleep) As shopping villages go, this one is pretty cool. Lots of specialty shops with local flair, supporting local artists. To find this cache, you'll have to solve the picture puzzle. As you bump from shop to shop, find the pictures you see below. Once you find the picture, something about that shop (phone number, address, etc...) will help you identify part of the coordinates. Once you've identified them all, you'll be able to find the cache... hopefully that happens before your partner spends all of your CASH. Happy hunting...
