Geocache Description:

“I’m your huckleberry.”

Remember this legendary quote by the character Doc Holiday played by actor Val Kilmer in the 1993 movie, “Tombstone”?



The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but you might see a western movie nearby. In order to find the real hiding place, you need to do some research on other notable quotes from western movies. For each quote, determine the name of the movie and what year it was released. The last digit of the year will be used in deciphering the real cache location per the following scheme:

N 35 AB.CDE W 106 FG.HIJ

A. "The graveyards are full of boys who were young and very proud.”

B. “When you hang a man, you better look at him”.

C. “Hey Curley, kill anyone today?”

D. “How can you trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders? The man can’t even trust his own pants.”

E. “If God didn’t want them sheared, He would not have made them sheep.”

F. "Look at all the stars. You look up and you think, 'God made all of this and He remembered to make a little speck like me.' It's kind of flattering, really."

G. "Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy.”

H. “I won’t be wronged. I won’t be insulted. I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”

I. “You better put down that gun. You got two ways to go, put it down or use it. Even if you tie me, you’re gonna be dead.”

J. "You can look us over, but don't think you're going to do the choosing! All the way from Independence, I've been staring at two things: one was this picture and the other was the rump of a mule...and don't ask me which was prettier!"

12/4/08—Tux discovered that the line “I’ll be a suck-egg mule!” was used in both “Rio Lobo” and “Eldorado”. I love the quote, but decided to replace it to avoid any confusion.
