Geocache Description:

You're looking for a large ammo box. FTF is a five-dollar Toys R Us gift card.

Congrats to Captain Pirate Monkey for FTF


One of HP's friends from school had a birthday this week and her mother, a brave woman, agreed to host a sleepover birthday party. HP was very excited because this was her first overnight party. After picking her up this morning, I suggested we place a cache to commemorate the occasion. We sniffed around and found a great spot right in their neighborhood.

HP tells me she had lots of fun last night, but I'm not sure how much actual sleeping took place. She laid down for a minute on the couch when we got home and slept for three-and-a-half hours.

Original Contents:

  • the log
  • a deck of cards
  • a glowing necklace
  • a Cabbage Patch keychain

Please log what you take, what you leave, and any maintenance issues that need to be addressed. Send me an email, too, if there are problems with the coordinates or a hint is needed.
 

FVisCool had something interesting to say about the cache in his entry. I've edited it a little and reproduced it here:

Picked up Gecko TB and dropped off Funnyshine TB. I know you named the cache after your daughter's sleepover event, but there is geography history related to your site.

The nearest street is Erskine Dr. In 1777, Gen George Washington, who was not only our first President but also had survey experience, appointed Col Robert Erskine as the first geographer and surveyor for the Continental Army. For more info, go to WikiPedia's Robert Erskine entry or Army Geographer.
