This cache has been archived.

Wizard of Ooze: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within the requested time period, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities.

If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current geocaching.com guidelines. Please don’t post a note on your archived listing as it won’t be forwarded to me and I won’t see it. If you need to contact me, please do so by emailing me through the contact link on my geocaching.com profile page or through my website www.wizardofooze.com

Thank you for your contributions to geocaching, and we hope to see you actively geocaching once again in the near future.

MOTHER GOOSE

This is a series of 6 caches that will tell you about the origin of some Mother Goose Rhymes/Riddles that many of us may have grown up with. You will need to collect clues in each of the caches in order to do the final.


There are many different scenarios as to who Miss Muffet really is. Is the truth out there? Probably. What I have discovered is that she was not the cruel Mary, Queen of Scots, (in the 1500's) as some thought, with John Knox, represented by the spider, trying to dethrone her over religious differences.

This nursery rhyme first appeared in print in 1805 in a book called "Songs for the Nursery". It is widely believed that Dr. Thomas Muffet wrote this rhyme in the 16th century for his stepdaughters.

Have you had your curds and whey today?

Little Miss Muffet, She sat on a tuffet,

Eating of curds and whey;

There came a great spider,who sat down beside her,

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

CHEERS!!! To All the cachers that found this cache in its original location.
