Geocache Description:


So there I was, in the Congo. Okay, I wasn't really in the Congo, I was actually at the Memphis Zoo. The Cathouse Cafe to be precise. I enjoy watching the animals. Some are majestic, some are scary, and some are just downright funny. I also like taking pictures of the animals during my visit. It's a great way to share some of the joy of the zoo with those not fortunate enough to make a visit themselves. I'll attach some pictures so you can take a look. You really should check them out, I got some great shots if I do say so myself. Anyway, I digress.

So there I was, at the Cathouse Cafe. I had snapped a lot photos that morning and was relaxing with a cold beverage before continuing my visit. I was sitting inside looking out at the monkeys. In case you haven't visited the zoo, one wall of the Cathouse Cafe is all windows and it looks out into a monkey enclosure. I'm sure there is some fancy name for the monkeys, but they are just monkeys to me and I enjoy watching them. So I was sitting, relaxing, watching the monkeys when I saw, out of the corner of my eye, a couple of fellows sitting down. This in itself is nothing out of the ordinary and not to be noticed. Especially when there are monkeys to be watched. But then I heard the voice.

Hey man, why don't we sit here?

Cool dude! We can eat lunch and watch the monkey!
I sat unmoving in the hopes that I would remain unnoticed. My luck held.

So Flip man, do you remember that day way back when? You know the one. It was right before school started. You was walking down the street head hung low just putting one foot in front of the other. I said to myself there is a dude in need of a cold drink. So I called out to you and said "Hey dude! Wanna cold drink?" You remember man, don't you? It was the first day we met.

Yeah man. I remember. It was hot that day. Like real hot man. Like one hundred and four or somethin'. You gave me an ice cold cherry cola. I needed it too, man. Not just 'cause it was so hot neither. I needed it because I had just walked seven-hundred and thirty five steps from Dean Way's office and I thought my world was ending.

Whoa dude! You say that like you know exactly how far it was. Are you just making that up?

Naw man, I know exactly how far it was because I was counting. All the way I was counting. You see, man, that was the day I was expelled from Rhodes and was told that I wasn't smart enough to follow my dream.

Oh, yeah! That's when Professor Mark told you that you couldn't become a geopirat.

First of all, man, he was a dean, not a professor. Second it was geophysicist not geopirat. Third man, that is what you wanted to become, not me. I wanted to be an actuary. Or a fireman.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

Whoa dude! Look at that monkey! What's he throwing?

It was at this point I quietly slipped away. Why am I typing this and putting it here? I don't know. I suppose it is because there are some who seem to enjoy my recollections. If not there are always my zoo pictures to amuse you.

Alright. Now for the bare bones description, warnings, disclaimers, etc. You are looking for a camoflouged lock and lock container. Yup, that about sums it up. Oh, remember to always have fun and don't play, or park, in the street.
