Geocache Description:


At the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows and the wind smells slow-and-sour when it blows and no birds every sing excepting old crows...is the Street of the Lifted Lorax.

And deep in the Grickle-grass, some people say, if you look deep enough you can still see, today, where the Lorax once stood just as long as it could before somebody lifted the Lorax away. What was the Lorax? And why was it there? And why was it lifted and taken somewhere from the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows? The old Once-ler still lives here. Ask him. He knows.

You won't see the Once-ler. Don't knock at his door. He stays in his Lerkim on top of his store. He lurks in his Lerkim, cold under the roof, where he makes his own clothes out of miff-muffered moof. And on special dank midnights in August, he peeks out of the shutters and sometimes he speaks and tells how the Lorax was lifted away. He'll tell you, perhaps... if you're willing to pay.

On the end of a rope he lets down a tin pail and you have to toss in fifteen cents and a nail and the shell of a great-great-great-grandfather snail.

I have placed a Geocoin and two Travel Bugs in this cache.

This traditional cache needs to be traded for a geocoin for a geocoin or a travel bug for a travel bug. I have placed a log and a pen in the container. Also, there are muggles around, so be very careful!

Congratulation to Unclebruce to be the first to find the cache!
