The Austere Academy - Cache the Fifth Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ZorkFox: This location is no longer suitable. The trees are breaking free of their confinement, the place has been turned into a garbage dump, and there are a lot of snails it would be too easy to kill with a careless footstep. The old location is also a no-go, as it's become the haunt of blackberry brambles: even if I moved the cache back there, it would be too much of a pain to locate and, as soon as maintenance crews come along to clobber the vines, it would be exposed.

Farewell, Austere Academy.

Geocache Description:


Dear Cacher,
If you are looking for a cache that includes cheerful people spending a jolly time exploring nature or traipsing about with friends, look elsewhere. This cache is about school. As a teacher myself, I can say with some conviction that there is no joy in school. For many of us, school turns out to be another miserable episode in unlucky lives.

Truth be told, even intelligent and respurceful children who do well in school usually can’t wait to get out. While most children will not face snapping crabs and dripping fungus, they may face strict punishments, comprehensive exams, violin recitals, running laps and the metric system.

It is my solemn duty to stay up all night researching and writing these cache pages based on even more unfortunate books, but you may be more comfortable getting a good night's sleep. In that case, you should probably choose some other cache.

With all due respect,
GCB
