Geocache Description:

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a fan of Fruits And Nuts! Recently I was in this area and it occurred to me that I must be a lil' fruity or a bit nutty to be out looking for a little container holding a logbook. At the same instant, I noticed what I felt would be a grand place to bring my fellow caching buddies. Don't forget to bring yourself some water ... this lil' hike is difficult for some, mildly strenuous for others, and a cake walk for a few. BYOP!

Not only am I kind of fruity and nutty (at times) ... I'm also a FAN of the many geocachers who I've had the pleasure to meet, and/or enjoyed their clever hides. I couldn't help but think of one of them as I chose F.A.N. placement #4.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, I purchased a GPS for the very first time ... but not for myself. Someone very special to me had gone geocaching a few times (with some dear friends). After a few months he felt he needed his own GPS so he could stand a chance at finding the caches. On Christmas 2004, I gave him one. The next day he went out and found his first cache with his very own GPS, all by himself. I remember that day, and the look on his face. Soon we were going out looking for caches together, but I only considered myself to be the transportation at the time. He encouraged me to start geocaching about 18 months later, and helped me set up my account. We had so many great times out searching for caches; but the greatest part of it all was how much closer we grew through all the challenges & fun we faced.

Now, Halftrack guy is in the US Army ... and he's coming up with all kinds of cache ideas to spring on us upon his return! Some of them might even be a little "nutty." HTG, this F.A.N. #4 cache is just another small way of thanking you for being such a joy to me, and a great son, too. Hooah!

CONGRATULATIONS to SqrRigger on FTF!
