Geocache Description:


There's a story behind the cache name. I had previously placed a cache here and submitted it for publication. The following day, another cache was published at this exact same spot, and I was sent a "Dear TAXMAN 1" letter by the reviewer, advising me of a proximity conflict. Having discovered that the other cache was archived, I hurried over to claim this spot. I hope I'm not a day late again. It has occurred to me that, if I live long enough, every cache will become archived, and I can then jump in and claim each spot. This train of thought started me wondering how long geocaching will endure. What will happen if and when the owners of Geocaching.com retire or die? Just some food for thought, because man (and woman) does not live by bread alone (or something).

The cache is located just inside a wooded area, a short distance from the blacktop walkway. It contains a log, pencil, small trade items and a prize for FTF. No credit without your signature. Bring something to write with anyway. No night caching in the park. Park in the lot at the powerline trail, not at Cedar Hill Road Park, unless you like long walks. It's supposed to hit 90 degrees tomorrow.
