Geocache Description:


Monster Stash…

SMTroop90, 1K Finds HIDES!


You're invited to a Halloween Smash
Come and join us for a Monster Bash!

It's our way of saying thanks
To SMTroop90 for pulling pranks!

Our Groundspeak Reviewer can’t take a break,
Because SMTroop90 takes the cake!

Mtn_Man can’t even have dessert,
Because SMTroop90 has him on a publishing alert!

He hides many caches in the county,
Some are small,
Some are tall,
Some are wet,
Some are Evil,
Some have caused upheaval!
Some are easy,
Some are cheesy,
Some are quick,
Some are hidden in the sticks!

You can find his caches high and low,
Over the valley and under the road!

You will find his caches on a pole, in a hole,
Or in a lake attached to a snake!

His cemetery hides will give you a ride
Along the country side!

Some are protected by a turtle shell,
Some are protected by his beldar’s helmet!

Some are hanging in a tree,
But you better watch out for the bee!

Some are pull and catch,
Some will leave you with a match!

Some are guarded by the cinder block,
Some are covered with a rock!

His caches will surely share a piece of history,
Some will leave you with a mystery!

Some will take you for a float along the river banks or even in a lake,
But please watch out for that snake!

You will learn about his cache
He will give you detail about the stash!

Now for those who have found his caches,
You have been blessed with his multi caches!

Please join us on Thursday, October 30th and honor this man for his master plan!
 
Mike says he’s from Canada,
But “Whoda Thunk uh dat, eh?


          There is so much to say about SMTroop90 and his love for the game!  He truly loves hiding caches more than some like finding them.  He has added so many memories to this crazy game that we all love.  Now is the time to give back and show him some appreciation for his efforts.  Hey, look at it this way, at least he will not be able to hide a cache for a few hours on Thursday afternoon.  Please consider bringing an item to place in SMTroop90’s stash that will be presented to him.  He could probably use some old PVC pipes, spray foam, spray paint, zip ties, etc.

Thank you Mike for all of your caches, stories, history, memories and most of all your friendship!

We will be cooking hotdogs and hamburgers along with some Dutch oven cobblers, YUM!

MONSTER STASH

I was caching in the land late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
SMTroop90 from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He hid some cache
He hid a monster stash
The monster cache
It was a Graveyard cache
He hid the cache
It caught on in a flash
He hid the cache
He hid the monster stash

From his laboratory in the castle in his 06 zip abode
To his master suite where his wife Cindy enjoyed ala mode
To his living room where his monstrous wolfhound would stare, try walking past him if you dare
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from his cache-making-electrodes

They hid a cache
They hid some monstrous’ stash
The monster cache
It was a Blue Creek cache
They hid the cache
It tipped some over in a flash
They hid the cache
They hid the monster cache

The 6wiggies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included RKF481, cottontop, zzbob, JGT90
Turfdaddy and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
PapaBear on chains, backed by his wifey Mia87 and their gang
The coffin-bangers (January14 and Searching4Fun) were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Cache-Stasher Five" accompanied by smarky, giber and Birmingham Gang, you may even see BlueLew and his CookieToo.

They played with the cache
They played with the monster stash
The monster SMTroop90 is a SMASH
It was a paddle boat stash
They played with his newest cache
It caught on in a flash
They played with the cache
They played with the monster cache

Out from his coffin, CaverScott’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Cache with a twist?"

It's now the cache
It's now the SMTroop90 stash
The monster cache
And it's an Eagle Scout cache
It's now the stash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the cache
It's now the monster cache

Now everything's cool, Earl B Fisk is part of the crew
And SMTroop90’s monster cache is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this stash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them David sent you

Then you can cache
Then you can seek the monster stash
The monster cache
And do SMTroop90’s Whoda Thunk It stash
Then you can cache
You'll find some of them in a flash
Then you can find his cache
Then you can find his monster stash!
