This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a fun, quick grab located right at the end-bend of the island in southern Ocean City, NJ. Parking is available.

Welcome to "A Dose of Grandpop's Medicine". The cache is hidden in the general location of where I spent my summers as a little girl and still do as an adult. I grew up visiting my Grandpop at the shore. He was in WWII and is in his 90's now and I thought I would hide my first cache in the spirit of him. Beware of muggles... This cache is near the beach so muggles are sometimes thick - use stealth!! Feel free to take and leave things ... just remember, if you take something, please replace it with something of equal or greater value! Also, I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO TAKE PICTURES OF YOU WITH THE CACHE!!! I think my Grandpop would find that to be a hoot! Thanks for hunting my first cache! I do live a fair distance away, but I visit the area periodically. I have a family member (grantml) who lives there year round and will care for the cache for me, if needed.
Congrats to D.H.JerseyGeo's for FTF!!!!!!!!!

09/08/15 - Beautiful holiday weekend in OC. Replaced the log. So fresh and so clean! Thanks for all the great images and stories everyone! Glad to see people are enjoying my little cache! XO - 07/16/12 - Thanks to whomever replaced the cache container. What a fantastic group of people cachers are! Keep caching! 05/13/13 - This cache survived Sandy. Thanks to the help from other cachers who helped keep it working. I just checked to make sure it is still there. It IS! Enjoy caching!
07/31/13 - My grandfather, whom this cache was named after, died today. It makes this cache and this area even that more important to me. I hope everyone enjoys this cache and will help leave it in better condition than when they found it. He meant the world to me and I would like everyone to share in that love. He was a veteran and died at the age of 93.
