Geocache Description:

A fun cache in Covington!

If you are familiar with the Chevy Chase movie "European Vacation", you will understand the title of this Cache. And no doubt you'll know what kind of area you'll be looking for.

This cache is in Covington near Costco & Fred Meyer. It is a micro container hidden in the landscaping. (Please be careful & gentle when looking around and replace cache exactly as you found it, if possible) Good idea to bring your own writing tool.

We would recommend doing this one after Costco is closed in the evening. It is safe and well lit in the area and there is plenty of parking nearby. You can do it during the day, but if you did, you would totally stand out like a sore thumb! So therefore, watch for mobile muggles. But not really recommended during the day (for real - try to do it at night or when it's getting dark because it is very busy in the area and we don't want to risk losing this cache to a curious mobile muggle or plain old muggle who saw you. Because it is so darn fun, we SERIOUSLY ask you to do it at night/after hours. Please. Seriously - we see a lot of posts where people obviously did it during the day & it makes us cringe every time to imagine what that must've looked like. So stealth is required!)

Have fun & hope the title of this cache made you smile.

Please also be very careful retrieving this cache. There is often a lot of traffic and moving cars you have to wait for, so please use caution and common sense. We are not responsible if you don't and end up getting hurt or worse. As The Lorax says...you have been warned!!!

Congrats to Tobias & Petronella for FTF!

P.S. If you don't know why this cache has the name it does or if you do know what it refers to & you love this scene from the movie, you can see this clip from "European Vacation" with Chevy Chase that the name of this cache refers to. Here's a link. Have a laugh! Seeing this will most definitely clue you in to what you'll be looking for!
