The Bigfoot Memorial Lending Library Traditional Cache
mizdeeds: I'm sorry to say this cache has to be archived. Stan's brother has sold the blueberry farm and will be moving out of the area. The family will be taking his ashes with them, maybe to be scattered to the 4 winds in some other place that he enjoyed. We'd like to thank all who visited; we enjoyed reading all the logs and comments, and we're sure Bigfoot also enjoyed your visits. We will be picking up the cache in the next few days and will distribute any swag that is in it to different caches we visit. The books and other media in the cache that is in good condition will be donated to a local library or school. If the travel bug is still in it, we will of course move it along to another cache. Again, thanks to all who visited .... Mizdeeds

This cache was placed in memory of Bigfoot15, our geocaching buddy
and local legend. Any cache you visit in this area, and for that
matter the entire state of Michigan, that was hidden before March
of 2009, will likely have a big red foot stamped in the logbook.
Stan (Bigfoot15) truly enjoyed geocaching, and being first to find
made the find even sweeter.
Stan passed away March 8, 2009 and left a hole in the hearts of all
who knew him. He was an ambassador for geocaching; there were no
strangers to Bigfoot. When he met a muggle near a cache site, he'd
stop and explain geocaching to them, sometimes enlisting their help
in finding the cache. We know of at least one instance when it was
a police officer who stopped to see what he was doing, and ended up
helping him look! Who knows how many new cachers got their start
after being introduced to geocaching by Stan? His legend will live
on.
Even though he had more than 1,200 finds, he'd never hidden a
cache. We always wondered why, and he told us he just didn't want
to--he liked finding them. BUT, he did say that if he ever did hide
one, it would be a "media exchange" cache; a place to exchange
books, movies and CD's/DVD's. He thought that was a great idea for
a cache and said that's what he would do if he hid one.
And so the "Bigfoot Memorial Lending Library" has been established.
We've started it with some books, CD's and DVD's in it, along with
some other swag. Please try to help us keep the theme of the cache
going when exchanging items. This cache is a very large ammo can
placed near where Bigfoot's ashes have been laid to rest at his
brother's blueberry farm. Stan loved spending time at the farm, and
when you couldn't find him, that was the place to look. They
thought it was appropriate that his final resting place be there,
and wanted us to put a geocache there for him to watch over.
There are no hints. This hide is Stan's favorite type. A large
container that you get to by walking just a short distance over
level ground. Don't take too long to find it, or we're sure you'll
hear Stan laughing at you!!
