Geocache Description:

This cache container is a 2x5" camo'd round L'nL. This cache has been moved from its original location as there seemed to be a lot of neglect in this park, as well as prying eyes. We have moved it to a very different location.

The terrain here can be very wet. Using geosenses will be a great help here. It is not a difficult hide (we have made use of natural materials found in the area), but please rehide carefully so cache is not visible.


The original cache was a boy theme containing:

Canada Haki-sak ball, Boys Wallet
Happy Face Lanyard, Hot Wheels Car
FTF Button; FTF Certificate, Log Book, Pencil & Sharpner

You may claim a happy face on this cache as it has been moved a great distance from the original. There is no FTF prize in this cache.

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 is a theory that Little Boy Blue represents Cardinal Thomas Wolsey (1475 - 1530). He was an extremely rich, arrogant (loved to blow his own horn) man who had many enemies at court and was not popular with the English people. He was often referred to as the "boy bachelor" as he received his law degree from Oxford at ripe old age of 15 years.


Export taxes on wool made England very prosperous, augmenting both the treasury of King Henry VIII and the assets of Cardinal Wolsey. The Little Boy Blue rhyme may have been a secret message of dissent in regards to his greed. To criticize openly could have led to imprisonment, forfeiture of property or even death.
