Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the published coordinates.
Published coordinates are for parking.

Before the days of gunslingers, the weapon of choice was the sword.

Recently at a toy store, I saw two kids playing with Naruto swords which made swishing and clanging sound effects when they moved them. A Star Wars lightsaber caught my eye, but I realize that my fencing skills are somewhat rusty these days. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...whoosh!

Remember all those swashbuckling heros and villians in literature and film?

"Come taste my steel!" Be warned: it's not what you think!
