Well, I guess I should’ve seen
this one coming. After we reported the apparently-premature demise
of the Big Man in a recent cache posting of ours (see:
GC1F016: R.I.P. Fat Boy), Santa got REALLY teed off. He
threw such a fit that Dr. Phil himself had to lead the
intervention. I think the whole thing was taped for a future
episode of Oprah. You may want to TiVo that. To regain his
composure, Santa was advised to take up a relaxing new sport. This
cache is dedicated to his choice. May he have a speedy
recovery!
We hid this cache on the
evening of August 16, 2008, our 1-year Geocaching anniversary. Over
our first year of caching, we found 540 caches (75 of which were
FTFs) and hid 60 caches (including this one). Like those funny
commercials on tv, though, it’s the hundreds of memories we have
that are truly priceless. We’re looking forward to another
incredible year of caching ahead of us.
You’re looking for a magnetic
hide-a-key container with a log only. BYOP! This can be a VERY high
muggle area. There is just enough room to pull of the road in front
of the cache area. I highly recommend the “we’re tourists taking
pictures of the funny thing” routine should muggles question your
presence!
If you’re caching with
children, please mind the terrain rating and keep a very close
eye on them. Traffic moves quickly through this area. In addition,
there is a bit of a water hazard in the area, which—now that I
think about it—is only appropriate! For these reasons, we would
not recommend hunting for this cache at night. Good
luck!
