Geocache Description:

A cache to commemorate the arrival
of the Beep Peep Blowout tar balls at Pensacola Beach on June 4, 2010.


FYI, they're not balls, they're little tar pancakes.



 
 
 
Come senators, president, Beep Peep and all,
Come watch all the seabirds take a big fall,
With dolphins and turtles all covered with slime
Don't you think that it's about time--

To plug up the gusher, and scoop up the shine?
 
There's an oilslick outside and it's ragin'.
An'll soon shake your windows
And rattle congress' halls,
For the beaches they are a-changin'.
(sorry bobby d)
 
 
 
Come and enjoy the beach, it's still beautiful!  The tarballs are thinly scattered in a 2 foot wide zone at the high tide mark. Step carefully there, but there's a lot of clean beach for you to use. There aren't many tar balls left after the cleanup but FTF can collect a tarball from the beach or watch the Tarball Brigade clean up the beach, one tarball at a time.




A micro, with a rite-in-the-rain waterproof log, bring a pen. This one is too simple to need a clue. Limited muggle activity, but be discrete.

There is a one dollar charge to cross the bridge, so make it a beach caching day. There are lots of caches to choose from, from simple to frustrating.

Please stay off the dunes -- no need to bushwack for this cache. Other than about 3 feet of soft sand by the road, this is wheelchair accessible.

Congratulations for FTF goes to k.f.boom, though this one is just too pathetically easy for a man of his talents.

No dogs or glass on the beach.
