Geocache Description:


I've begun to wonder if some outside force is playing a role in the control of my life for some unfathomable purpose. I'm not talking of a higher power, rather fate or karma. Not coincidence though. Definitely not coincidence. Before today I have had four seemingly random encounters. Today makes five.

Let me explain. I spend quite a bit of time moving about the Memphis area. I travel all over the place from downtown to out east. From midtown to Collierville. Everywhere I go I have an encounter. Ever since that day downtown a few months ago I keep running into Flip Dizzy. Though I don't physically collide with him the encounters are still jarring in their own right. Allow me to detail the latest, and perhaps oddest, encounter.

I was turning off of Germantown Parkway into the parking lot of one of those big box home improvement stores when I saw him. Flip, of course. He was standing right by the road yelling and waving a flag. I parked my car and, against my better judgement, walked over towards where he was standing. As I got closer I could see the flag he was waving. It was emerald green with a rampant gold lion. I realized that he wasn't actually yelling, more like shouting exuberantly. A broad grin was upon his face that grew even wider when he saw me. Turning away from the fast-flowing traffic he yelled the following words to me.

bristly was the porcupine
civil were his barbs
talkative by nature
nocturnal by design

acrobatic was the monkey
agape he made the flower
charming none could say
silence all could hear

After saying that he spun on his heel and stepped off the curb and into the street. Nimbly he darted across the many lanes of traffic seemingly oblivious to any potential danger. I was confused and gave chase without heed to my safety. Horns blared, tires screeched, and drivers cursed as cars did their best to avoid hitting me. Fortune was smiling and I managed to cross without harm. I yelled to Flip a single word. "What?" He looked back over his shoulder and replied thusly

to won too juan tutu won one

Turning from me he continued along the sidewalk leaving me standing confused and berated by the drivers I had angered. The last I saw of him was when he descended a slope on the far side of Germantown Parkway, his emerald flag snapping in the breeze.

My honey-do projects were forgotten as I climbed back into my automobile to drive ever so cautiously home. I type this here because I am blindingly confused and in desperate need of answers. Why does Flip torment me so? What does he want with me? Can anybody please help?

You are looking for a camoflouged lock and lock container. Big suprise, huh? It is fairly close to a trail so on occasion stealth may be needed. With the water level up the terrain may be slightly underrated, but that issue will correct itself soon enough. Also the terrain rating is based on following the trail. Should you approach by not using the trail the terrain is a good bit tougher. As alway have fun and don't let Flip drive you too crazy.
