Moon Unit Zappa Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Gazonkie: It's been a great run, but I think it's time to throw in the towel on our little Moon Unit. Due to the nature of this cache, I knew from day one that it wouldn't last forever - it looks like it's seen the end. I hope everyone's enjoyed this cache and what I considered a unique placement idea, and I hope it inspires others to hide caches with a method similar to what we did here. Cheers!

Geocache Description:


This cache is named after the daughter of Frank Zappa, who has one of the most unique names out there. Born on September 28, 1967, she first came to public attention at the age of fourteen as a vocalist on her father's hit single "Valley Girl". The song featured Moon Unit delivering a monologue in 'val-speak', a collection of slang terms popular in the San Fernando Valley. Next to "Dancin' Fool", "Valley Girl" was Frank Zappa's biggest hit in the United States.

Parking for this cache is located at the end of Bathurst Street. It is highly recommended that the trailhead waypoint be used. In the summer months there are tons of mosquitoes, so make sure to pack bug spray! The cache itself is a large 11''x9''x8'' camo-taped cooler. Please make sure to replace the cache exactly as you found it. This placement is somewhat fragile and needs to be well maintained by all cachers who find it.

This is our second cache hide, so criticism is appreciated. Good luck.
