Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the above coordinates.

A spoonerism is a play on words in which the corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes of two or more words are transposed. These slips of the tongue are named after the Rev. William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), a priest and scholar who was notorious for this habit. In honor of Rev. Spooner, the description below has been "Spoonerized" for your reading pleasure...

A few notes (in plain English!):
1. There are signs in the area that indicate that the roads are "impassable in high water." (Aren't they all?) Irrespective, it seems that this area is more prone than most to flooding. Forewarned is forearmed.
2. Please include a Spoonerism in your log. If you're not that way inclined (lucky you), you can call on the creative genius of fabelfish.com, which would be happy to craft a Spoonerism for you.
3. Thanks to HappyToBeFirst, whose cache listing provided both the fabelfish.com information and the idea for "Spoonerizing" the coordinate listing.
