This cache has been archived.

northernpenguin: I have moved away from Georgetown and this cache doesn't get the visitors that it used to so I'll open the location up and pick up the cache container next time I'm in the area. Thank you to everyone who has visited the cache over the years.

Geocache Description:

Scandal! The rabbit is caught on film!





This is a Bouncy Bunny cache. While there may be other bunnies near the posted co-ordinates, there is certainly NO geocaches at the posted co-ordinates. Don't go there. The cache is, however, within 3 kilometers.

Well, it was bound to happen. Bouncy Bunny has been placing mind-boggling puzzles throughout Southern Ontario, and has even inspired parody caches. Soon the local geocaching community was talking about her adventures, and eventually the local media started to take notice.

Now, the Paparrazzi are keen for any possible opportunity to grab a photo that can be sold to the tabloids for real money!

One fine day Bouncy Bunny is out for a walk along a trail that she knows well, when she is surrounded by photographers armed with cameras and oh so many flashes!

She asks them to leave her alone in the most polite way she knows. Instead they get even closer. So she hops along down the trail, paying them not attention. This works for a while, and she resumes looking for a hiding spot for her next geocache. More flash photography, and more questions. Eventually she tires of this all, and gives her new friends the slip.

Nobody has seen her since. There have been glimpses and rumours, but these all proved to be false leads. It's rumoured that the answers may be in the profiles of the seven paparazzi photographers that are in constant pursuit. Look closely - you may be excited by what you find. Some of these photographers may have some interesting properties - see for yourself:
