Geocache Description:

I'm bringing you to a place you would rather avoid unless you are working here. You definitively do not want to go there for your own self... so I figured going for a cache is a little more fun.
Use stealth and common sense. If parking lot is busy please come back another time. The cache is not too close from the entrances so you shouldn't disturb too much.

In Greek mythology, Charon (or Kharon) is the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead. A coin to pay Charon for passage, usually an obolus or danake, was sometimes placed in or on the mouth of a dead person. Some authors say that those who could not pay the fee, or those whose bodies were left unburied, had to wander the shores for one hundred years. In the catabasis mytheme, heroes — such as Heracles, Orpheus, Aeneas, Dionysus and Psyche — journey to the underworld and return, still alive, conveyed by the boat of Charon.

Bring your own pen.

The loonie is the FTF prize.
The old penny is Charon's fee and needs to stay in the cache for anyone who needs to pay Charon's services.
