THE
SERIES:
This series,
YAGM (You're A
Good Man, Charlie Brown), is
dedicated to Charles M. Schulz and his "Peanuts" comic strip. There
are twelve caches in the series, each named for one of the
characters in the comic.
You do not have to find one to
find another - each is an independent hide. There are no puzzles to
solve or questions to answer. Each cache is a micro and is a pretty
simple grab - some are easier than others. In general, be stealthy
and watch out for muggles. The difficulty level, if higher, is
usually due to muggle activity. Always bring your own writing
utensil. And, as always, ENJOY!
The caches in this series (in
no particular geographic order) are:

CHARACTER:

This cache is
dedicated to Franklin.
Franklin
met Charlie Brown at the beach in 1968. They'd never met before
because they went to different schools, but they had fun playing
ball so Charlie Brown invited Franklin to visit him at this house
across town for another play session. Later, Franklin turned up as
center-fielder on Peppermint Patty's baseball team and sits in
front of her at school. Franklin is thoughtful and can quote the
Old Testament as effectively as Linus. In contrast with the other
characters, Franklin has the fewest anxieties and obsessions. He
and Charlie Brown spend quite a bit of time talking about their
respective grandfathers. When Franklin first appeared in the late
60s, his noticeably darker skin set some readers in search of a
political meaning. However, the remarkable becomes unremarkable
when readers learn that Schulz simply introduced Franklin as
another character, not a political statement. -

Did You
know:
- Franklin's
father was a soldier fighting in Vietnam, to which Charlie Brown
replied "My Dad's a barber...he was in a war too, but I don't know
which one."
- In an
interview in 1997, Schulz discussed receiving a letter from a
Southern editor "who said something about, 'I don't mind you having
a black character, but please don't show them in school together.'
Because I had shown Franklin sitting in front of Peppermint Patty.
I didn't even answer him."
