To commemorate
1Irishgirl's 1000th Geocache find I thought I would
place a cache asking her a question that I should have asked a long
time ago.
1Irishgirl will you marry
me?
She did not
know about the placement of this cache. As we always do, I find the
cache and hand her the logbook to sign as I look through the geo
junk in the can. However, this time it was a little bit different.
When she opened the logbook this is what she saw:
I have placed
this cache on the grounds of Audubon International since this
preserve has a lot of meaning to me and my family. Since 1987 I
have been coming here and walking these trails. My father is the
president, CEO and founder of Audubon International and at N 42
32.463 W 073 52.296 there is a gazebo that my grandfather made. It
was the last thing he did before he passed away in 1992. This is
also the location of the first event that 1Irishgirl and I hosted
together. Since I have so many wonderful memories of this preserve,
I thought it would be an appropriate place to add yet another
memory.
I also wanted
this cache to be a little bit different and that’s why I made
it a letterbox hybrid. I had a custom self inking stamp made
(otherwise known as a “kerchunker” to the Geek Squad)
for those of you that collect stamps.
Update!!!
On October 3, 2009 1Irishgirl and WhippIntegra
tied the knot! We have also recently "Married" our Geocaching
name's to
Whip & Irish
Thank you to everyone involved in making our special day
great!
