Geocache Description:


I saw him before he saw me and I tried to duck back around the corner. I was not quick enough.

Hey man! I know you. I know you! Your da man, man! I talked to you before. Yeah, I did, I did, man. Yeah, I did! I know you! Wait! Don't go man! Don't go! I gots to share something with you. Wait! Wait. Good. Good.
I stood frozen like a deer caught in headlights. And like a deer I was silent, just waiting for the crash.

I like jelly beans. Wait. No. I mean, yes. I mean I love jelly beans. I love 'em, man. Really love 'em. They are small and kinda round. They taste great, man. And they don't give you no suprises. I mean if they do suprise you man, it's a nice suprise. Know what I mean, man?
So there I stood. All I could do was mutely nod my head to what this crazy man was saying. This was the second time I had encountered him. Just like last time I felt unable to turn and walk away.

Yeah man! You know! You like 'em too! See man I went to the store the other day 'cause I was needing some jelly beans. Oscar was there, man. You know why Oscar was there? 'Cause it's his store, man. It's his store! That's why he was there. Now Oscar, man, he is a pretty cool cat. He is always messin' with me and stuff. Yeah, man, he is a cool dude. Nice too. Ain't no grouch and he ain't no slouch either.

So I says to Oscar, hey man, I need me some jelly beans. So he says you have to be twenty-one to buy jelly beans. Now this kinda confused me. So I says hey Oscar, I'm thirty-two, man. What does being legal have to do with buying jelly beans? Aw man, he says, it don't mean nothing. I was just funning with you. How much do you want?

I says, gimme two man. When I said that, Oscar, man, he got all huffy and said if you are going to be like that you will get nothing. This confused me, man, and I says why won't you sell me nothing? He says you have to buy them by the pound. So I says to him, well how much is a pound? Six dollars and twenty cents he says.

Man! That is crazy talk! Your price is too high. Last time I was here they was only four dollars and forty cents a pound. Oscar looks at me all stern like and says your memory is failing. The price used to be five dollars and forty cents a pound. And before you ask, I had to go up in price because it costs more now to ship them in.

His smile came back then and he said, so how many pounds does the thirty-one year old man want? I said, hey man, I don't want to contradict you or nothing, but I'm thirty-two. At least I think I am. Maybe not. Anyway man, can I have three and a half pounds?

Oscar picked up that shiny metal scoop and a white paper bag. He looked straight at me and said should I mix 'em up or do you want them all your favorite flavor, cherry red? Mix 'em up I says, mix 'em up! I'll take all one hundred and eleven flavors. His smile faded and he said, be serious. You know there aren't that many flavors. I looked at him and said, I know man, I was just funning with you. I'd like all thirteen flavors please.

Want some?
I blinked and realized that the crazy man was holding a white paper bag out to me, offering to share. Reaching out a tenative hand I took a small handful. When I opened my hand I saw jelly beans in a myriad of colors. Not wishing to appear rude I chose a brilliant red one and placed it in my mouth. Cherry. It was good. Actually it was more than good. It was outstanding. By far the best tasting jelly bean I had ever popped in my mouth. I looked up to ask crazy dude where he had bought them, but he was gone.

I'm not sure why I have written this and posted it here. I suppose it is an attempt to find more of those wonderful jelly beans. So if anybody knows of a store that sells jelly beans by the pound and is owned by a guy named Oscar please let me know.

You will be looking for a camouflaged lock and lock containing some not very valuable trinkets. I suppose the reward for finding this cache will be in the process and journey. And the smiley, of course. I would highly discourage anyone from hunting this during, or immediately after, a rainstorm. I would also suggest not hunting this at night. But hey, you are all big boys and girls and can make decisions for yourself.
