Geocache Description:


Sooooo many to chose from!

This is a SHARPIE CACHE! Bring one to sign the log.

The cache is not located at the above coordinates.

All you ever wanted to know about this product and then some. Answer the following questions to find the location of this cache.

19AB  In celebration of Sanford's 70th birthday, the company commissions Norman Rockwell to create a painting for advertising use. The ad appears in several magazines with the caption, "It's lucky for you, child, your Gran'dad wrote this will with Sanford's Ink!"

Sanford continues to grow. Quality products and strong distribution help the company prosper, even through the Great Depression. In 19C0 the company changes its name to Sanford Ink Company.

186D The company expands and relocates to Chicago.

19E9 The Sharpie Ultra Fine Point is introduced. With its slim barrel, metal pocket clip and precise tip that produces clean and accurate lines, the Sharpie Ultra Fine becomes the first marker to truly write like a pen.

After narrowly escaping the Great Chicago Fire of 187F, Sanford's original factory succumbs this time to yet another disastrous fire. By 1900 Sanford has rebuilt its headquarters in downtown Chicago.

19G9 A new style tip is introduced in four colors, the Sharpie Extra Fine Point marker.

The popularity of Sharpie markers continues to soar in the 1990's due in part to the $H billion memorabilia industry.

196I Sanford turns its focus to the emerging marker business and introduces the Sharpie marker. The Sharpie Fine Point black marker becomes the first pen-style permanent marker.

2002 - 2005 New Sharpie products really gain momentum during this time with the launch of 6 new Sharpie product lines, and the introduction of 12 more colors, bringing the spectrum of Sharpie to 2J bold colors!

Substitute the numbers in the following format. 38 AB.CDE  090 FG.HIJ

Special permission to hide caches in St. Louis County parks is NOT needed as long as the Groundspeak rules are followed. "Blanket Permission" has been worked out in advance with the park service. DO NOT CALL THE PARK as they cannot handle the calls. The Groundspeak cache reviewer does need to know exactly how and where the caches are hidden and what type of containers are used. The geocaching liaisons will notify the park service of new caches. Remember NO AMMO BOXES or PVC PIPE caches.
