Geocache Description:


Four Hundred ForthEighth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Carl and Neil Fletcher
When brothers Carl and Neil Fletcher invented the batter-dipped, deep-fried hot dog in their Dallas kitchen and sold it for the first time in 1942 at the State Fair of Texas, they couldn’t have imagined its enduring popularity. Today, descendents of the Fletcher brothers sell nearly 500,000 corny dogs during the fair’s 24-day run.

Carl and Neil Fletcher were song and dance men and they had a popular tent show in Dallas for many years. Eventually, they gave up performing for more traditional jobs, but their independent spirits pushed their experimentation in the kitchen and development of the corny dog.

Carl and Neil died within a year of each other in the late 1980s, and Skip and Bill took over the business.

Fletcher’s Corny Dogs were sold only at the State Fair until 1995, when the Fletchers opened a new stand under the name Corny Dog Pit at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.

Once the corn dog is consumed, the remaining practically inedible stick can be used by the corn dog manufacturer for promotional purposes. For example, if the corn dog eater collects 10,000 specially imprinted corn dog sticks, he can trade them in for his very own Jarvik 7. Alternatively, the stick can be employed as an after-dinner back scratcher. In some Southern states, scratching your back with a greasy corn dog stick can, in fact, be done in polite company or in front of your wife.

But here's the even more interesting part about this multi-cache.

Near Stage II you will find the plot for Fletcher Underwood.
Now as you can see from the picture here, old Fletcher got the last word on all of us.

The cache container of choice, a bison tube, was my third candidate. I started larger, then went smaller, then went even smaller.
Maybe I was still thinking about old Fletcher when I hid it. I don't know.

From Stage I, determine the coordinates for Stage II by answering the question.
From where you should most likely be parked, you can see the back side of the Bobo's marker. What was Daddy Bobo's first name?
