Geocache Description:


His name is Friday, he’s a cacher.

Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

This is the city, Lakewood, Colorado; every 60 seconds a cache is found in Lakewood. Every 30 seconds a cache is logged. Cachers out number muggles 7 to 1. Every time a cacher answers a call he takes a calculated risk. There’ll always be someone out there who doesn’t like him.

There are over 5000 cachers in Lakewood, who know that being a geocacher is an endless, glamour-less, thankless job that’s gotta be done. I know it too, and I’m damn proud to be one of them.
