A Tribute to Meadow Muffin Traditional Cache
A Tribute to Meadow Muffin
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
We've placed this
cache in remembrance of Rick “Meadow Muffin” Kealey who
passed away Wednesday, April 27,
2011.
Rick began geocaching in Nov 2003. Not long after he started he met
Bluelamb03 and Mudlark. It was around the same time that the
informal group “Saturday Morning Caching Club” (SMCC)
developed, and Rick soon became a regular. The SMCC met at the
Newport Restaurant in Westboro Saturday mornings for breakfast
before geocaching through the morning.
As membership in the SMCC grew it morphed into the Geomob and Rick
was a regular in this group as well. At some point the Geomob began
to out grow itself and splitters formed. One of these groups was
the SOBs “South End Old Boys” and Rick was a "charter
member" again.
Along with Rick the SOBs are Greely Grizzly, Mudlark, GIS-Guy,
Mattawa, DancesWithWords, Jman, Pokaroo, Green Frog and various
other friends who join us from time to time.
Rick was a gentle person with a great sense of humour. He had an
infectious laugh. He loved caching for the fun, exercise and
comraderie. Rick also placed a number of great caches that many of
you have found through the years.
Rick had battled an illness for more than a year before his
passing, which greatly reduced his ability to cache with us.
Whenever he was up to it, though, he would join us for our post
caching lunch. Ricks presence at lunch was greatly enjoyed by all.
He always got a laugh at our caching stories and watching soccer
with us.
Rick is missed every time we hit the trail or whenever we get
together. Thanks for coming to this cache we placed in memory of
Rick.
If you knew him, take a moment to remember him. Even if you didn't
know Rick, take a moment to reflect and appreciate your
friends.
As we, the SOBs, found out, we don't know how long we have to enjoy
their company. ***NB, FOR THOSE ATTEMPTING THIS CACHE IN THE
WINTER, PLEASE LOOK FOR AND USE AN EXISTING SIDE TRAIL TO GET TO
GROUND ZERO. THE CACHE IS NOT FAR OFF THE NCC TRAILS AND WE DON'T
WANT TO ATTRACT ATTENTION DUE TO A NUMBER OF TRACKS TO THE CACHE.
THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION.***
