Team KKW: This cache lived a long life, and since its been muggled away to the point nothing remains, it’s time to archive it. Besides, we think the Bum passed on, too. How sad.

Geocache Description:

This cache was inspired by a myth created during the baseball season by the kids who play in the woods in which the cache is located, and near a Little League baseball diamond.

It is said there is bum who lives in the woods and who kills and eats the innocent people who happen to walk by his lair. This cache is located near the bum’s lair, so try not to look “innocent” while searching for this cache. If you approach the cache the same way we did, you will pass directly by the remains of an old part of the bum’s lair. He did make a new one, however, and there are some interesting things to be found there. When we were hiding the cache, we saw some old electrical wires that were being used to hold up the sticks that form his new home, an old rug that was being used to help him be comfortable, and, although it is not there now, at one point there was an old generator that the bum was using for an unknown reason...perhaps t o power his karaoke machine as he crooned under the moon as the wolf’s bane was in bloom. But I digress...

About the cache: It is a standard Ziploc twist-n-lock container wrapped in duct tape. It contains some interesting goodies and an FTF $. We think it will be a challenging find, so if you’re one of the lucky ones to find it, please replace it exactly as you found it. Enjoy the hunt, but watch out for the bum...
