Geocache Description:

A pesky nano. Parking is plentiful. So are muggles. BYOP.

My first cache to celebrate my 100th find. I decided to refer for inspiration to a list of 100 must-read novels I discovered last year. It is not necessary to have read the book to find the cache. There is something about the location that makes me think of the novel.

Wilkins Micawber is a clerk in "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. He spends time in the debtors' prison and is famous for the quotation: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery." I considered naming the cache for another character in the same novel, Uriah Heep, but thought the local establishment might object to any suggestion of dishonesty!
** Nano was replaced with something slightly larger.

Congtatulations to DinoGirlz for FTF!!!
