Geocache Description:



This is the sixth in a series of caches put around the area to celebrate the annual youth musical comedy performed by the Foothills United Methodist Church (FUMC) youth group in Rescue. This sixth cache is a small tupperware container filled with a number of starter items.

Kudos to StealthCowboy for FTF!

In 1991 the Foothills United Methodist Church's Youth Group began an annual tradition of putting on an original musical comedy as a combination fundraiser and way to teach the kids from the junior and senior high youth groups to work together toward a common goal.

This cache location is just outside of a somewhat hidden park in El Dorado Hills near my residence. Having grown up playing and watching soccer, and now coaching and watching my kids do the same, this park is one of the locations where we get to spend many an hour basking in the gentle Sacramento summer sun which has fried enough brain cells to allow me and my wife to come up with new ideas for the FUMC plays every year.

Note that the area around this cache has a substantial amount of annoying stickers, as well as the possibility of slithering wildlife. I have rated the terrain as such to account for this set of annoyances. Recommend boots or similar footwear over exposed socks or hairy legs with sandals. Don't say you weren't warned!!

The sixth FUMC production, "Can't Buy Me Luck" was was the fifth of the plays completely written from scratch by Gplamy and wife. It was performed in the spring of 1996, and right away we met up with Ringo, a poor musician who's luck was pretty rotten and followed his adventures as he worked to get himself out of some pretty desperate situations.

Each cache in this series will have information regarding the characters of the Hero, Heroine, and Villan of that particular play. Make a note of these character names when you find the cache, as they will play a part in locating every fourth cache in this series. Caches GC1VEE6, GC1VEF2, and GC1VEFV will all contain part of the information necessary to locate GC1VEGR.
