To honor the doctor, we decided to stash
Some "fun-in-a-box" (our first geocache).
So go find Thing 1 — and after you do,
Use the numbers inside it to go find Thing 2.
To find them, you’ll have to to do much more than look.
You’ll have to know “things” from the good doctor’s books.
Each clue has a blank and each blank needs a word,
For instance: Horton’s lazy Mayzie is a _________.
A bird? Yes, indeed! Now letter-count that word…
One, two, three, four — that’s the value of “bird.”
And now put that number in the place where we say.
Just fill up each space, and you’re well on your way!
Program your unit, then follow your feet
(The route takes you nowhere near Mulberry Street!).

(This area is open 7am-10pm, but we really suggest going in daylight. High muggle area, so try not to alarm the locals and be very discreet while searching and trading.
Since Thing 1 was muggled several times, we've altered its hiding spot and type of container (it seems our Dr. Seuss tins were just too attractive to the local kids). Now Thing 1 is very "attractive," but in a different way (yes, that is a hint).
Thing 1 is a small container (not the one pictured in the gallery). Thing 2 is an ammo box. Please, as you go off-trail, be kind to the underbrush and re-cover your tracks so there's not a geotrail to the hide.
Congratulations on FTF by CrouchingTigers and velrahnkoon (sharing is nice!). In your honor, we dedicate a virtual copy of Dr. Seuss’s I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today! and an imaginary Seuss quote “…think up a green sky…think a rainbow moon…think a cache-hunting wizard named velrahnkoon.”
