No matter what we do or who we do it with, or how the weather is
outside or even the time of the day, there are always special
people out there that have the ability to put a smile on our faces
and make the time one to remember and hold close to our hearts.
The friends of the kingdom series of caches is meant to thank
those friends of our royal family in a way that shares our
experiences with the rest of the remarkable caching community.
There are dedicated caches for milestones and for significant
family events, but this series is simply an effort to thank those
special people out there that have made caching even more special
to us.
The third in our series of special caches for special people is
dedicated to the very first people we encountered on the trails;
finding our first hide in fact.
PRINCESS and “The CHIEF” have been true friends to our family
(and I am very sure to the rest of the community as well). After we
hid our first cache last year, we waited, and dear I say staked out
the area, for the first finder. On our way home from one of our
royal obligations with the little princesses we saw a car parked at
the entrance to the kingdom. We just had to stop and say hi.
Princess and Peanut Butter had journeyed here from nearby kingdoms
to make the find and were very excited to let us know about there
adventure.
With a wonderful log and a very cheery disposition she made us
all smile and showed us why making our own hides were so much
fun….and well worth some of the aggravation that goes with it.
With each subsequent hide there was high probability of meeting
the lovely PRIC3SS from afar again. With her faithful pooch by her
side and CHIEF KJB ensuring her safety, she searches high and low
in the day or at night. One thing always remains true….her logs
will always make you smile and look forward to the next.
We met the CHIEF on several occasions and have talked about
everything from Boston sports and fishing to caching and obsessions
(wait, those last 2 might be the same thing). We have shared laughs
and stories on and from the trails. A jolly gent who is a true hero
in my mind, CHIEF is not only his name but also his title. He is
always willing to smile and chat when he has time, but other times
he is saving lives and putting his own at risk. Thank you CHIEF for
all that you and your men do.
PRINC3SS and Chief and even little Peanut Butter are true
friends to all they meet and are monuments in the local geo-caching
area. They are respectful of others and always helpful when the
need arises. It is people like these two friends of the kingdom
that make each caching day more special.
This cache is a multi. The first stage is dedicated to CHIEF KJB
(a micro with the coordinates) and the final is for PRINC3SS (our
typical ammo box). Good luck on your hunt!
BTW: It might be smart to relocate your carriages between
finds...unless you like the walk in the unknown lands.....SO FAR
ANYWAY.
FTF: CHIEF of course
STF: Awe shucks....PRINC3SS was dethroned
