Emerson’s Delight OTL Series #5 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OMChops: I have replaced the containers for the last time. Too much activity either muggles or City workers removing cache containers. Someone else can have the island. I found a single travel bug in the remaining container, I will be moving it along this week.

Geocache Description:

Another in the OTL Series (the last one to be place BEFORE the Big Tournament)

This cache is located in a special section of Fiesta Island on Mission Bay. This is a large sand lot, somewhat tucked away, that becomes the stage for over 1200 3 player teams that compete for the title of World Champions in a sport called Over-the-Line ™. The sport was devised by members of the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club over 54 years ago. Some of those “founding fathers” are still playing the game they invented. (visit link) for more info on the game)
This cache is the sixth is a series that will be named for various elements of the spectacle that IS OTL. This one was requested by geocacher DEVHEAD. The name for the winner of the annual show on the second weekend of the tournament is called Miss Emerson. (The name comes from an old “knock-knock” joke.) She becomes the female spokesperson for the club at many of the public and charity events that OMBAC is involved in. The cache itself was placed at the vantage point that I saw a couple of photographers take during the contest several years ago. It wasn’t front row, but they had an unobstructed view of the stage. Aren’t telephoto lenses delightful?
An OTL / Miss Emerson related FTF prize will be included. The container is a medium sized camouflaged lock-n-lock that could hold small trade items. Occasionally other OTL related items will appear in this cache.
The tournament is always the 2nd and 3rd weekends in July. The difficulty rating of this series will raise to 3/4 during those weekends as there are over 20,000 participants and spectators on the sand at all times of the day. I will disable this cache during the event. (there are just too many muggles stumbling about during the event) The event is not kid friendly as the crowd is just too massive and there may be adult beverages consumed.
The rest of the year this stretch of sand is peaceful and seldom used. You may see kite flying (HUGE kites) and an occasional model rocket launch. Parking is readily available on the east side of the island, but the series will NOT be wheelchair accessible due to terrain (soft sand). This is a small container, camouflaged. Please re-hide well.
