Current Goal

Melvin Schmedlapp is a name used in hypothetical situations. As in, "A man named Melvin Schmedlapp walks into a bar." That's more interesting than "A man named John Doe walks into a bar," right?

But I got to thinking, who is this Melvin Schmedlapp? What does he look like? I have some vague idea, but no definite image. And that notion might be wrong. It would be interesting to see what other people think.

So, Bandycam to the rescue. With this camera, take one photo of someone you think might be named Melvin Schmedlapp. (Whether you confirm it with the person you photograph is up to you.) I suspect you could find a good candidate at your closest mall or Walmart.

Found it in The Cacher's Cache. See the notes as to the path it took from Ontario to western Michigan. Perhaps someone can coach the 2 geo-cachers in how to log TB's. I've got an APB out for Melvin Schmedlapp. When I get confirmation of his whereabouts, I'll track him down and get his photo for you. Hopefully my sources can locate him within a week.

Left this BandyCam TB with its interesting mission in a very cool and creative cache site near Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore in northwest lower Michigan (The Pampered Cache). I left message in the cache log to coach the finder in how to follow the mission for the TB ( and hope they do better than I did).
