Geocache Description:


Wein-O-Rama

Located on Oaklawn Ave. in Cranston, RI this is a quick park-n-go.

GPS used to obtain coordinates: Garmin GPSmap 60CSx, accuracy was 18’+/-

Ready for lunch? Your visit to Rhode Island isn't complete until you've tried the local version of the hot dog, known as hot weiners, bellybusters, destroyers, or gaggers (pronounced "weenuhs, bellybustuhs..." etc.) Hot weiners can be found at numerous locations throughout the state, including any of the New York System locations.

Hot weiners consist of a delicious weiner (usually smaller than a standard hot dog and cut, rather than tied off, at the ends), topped with mustard, meat sauce (finely chopped beef with "secret" herbs and spices), chopped onion, and celery salt on a steamed bun. Order a bunch at once and have the dubious pleasure of watching the greasy-aproned grill person prepare them "up d'ahm," meaning that he will line the buns up on his arm, up to the shoulder if necessary, while slopping on the ingredients. Health authorities frown on this practice, but have so far been unable to put a stop to it. After all, it's a tradition!

After your quest, why not stop in for a couple and while you're there say hi to the owners, George and Ernie!

Please replace cache as it was found.

NOTE: Stealth is key for cache. This is a high traffic area, you will be in plain sight of the muggles that are dining as well as the traffic on Oaklawn Ave. CC is large enough for small trackables. Enjoy the hunt and PLEASE respect the property!

This is my fourth installment of caches that are uniquely Rhode Island. These caches will take you to places that are icons of Lil Rhody, it could be something that we eat or drink or some roadside icon or institution that we drive by. I hope you enjoy the Rhode trip!
