Geocache Description:

A CACHE DEDICATED TO MY GOOD FRIEND - MOLEY!!!
In plain site. Please be stealthy like a mole when retrieving.

Have you ever Whacked a Mole? I love whacking moles. Mole whacking is one of my favourite things to do. I whack moles every chance I get. I'm really good at it. Just ask my daughters. I've won them LOTS of prizes whacking moles. Heck, I even got a geocoin from a mole I whacked! I whack moles at carnivals, I whack moles at amusement parks, I whack moles at Cheezy pizza places that have mole-whackers... I even whack moles with my caches. This is a mole-whacking cache. Maybe the first of it's kind. Come on... let's have some F-U-N and WHACK-A-MOLE!!!
