Geocache Description:

Note that there are four caches in this series. The first three (including this one) are standard hides and the last (The Marx Brothers - GC2EQ0D) is a bonus cache. Don't forget to gather the coordinate information you'll need to log the final from each of the three main caches, Groucho (GC2EPZZ) Chico (GC2EQ04) and Harpo (GC2EQ09). This is a decon container. Enjoy!

 

Harpo Marx

Harpo’s real name was Adolph, which he subsequently changed to Arthur. He never spoke during any of the 13 Marx Brothers movies. He communicated by whistling or with a horn. He also used props extensively. He is my favorite! Harpo died in 1964 at the age of 75.

I just love watching Marx Brothers movies. They always had just the right combination of snide comments, slapstick and silliness for me. When my wife and I were dating, a number of the theatres in our neighborhood were running Marx Brothers festivals and we went from theatre to theatre. Basically, we spent the entire day laughing!

Whether you like their humor or not, I hope you enjoy this series of caches. The first three are straightforward. To log the final (The Marx Brothers (GC2EQ0D)) you will need to gather the correct coordinate components from each of the three main caches. Look on the inside front cover of the log book and complete the coordinates for the final

Have a great time!

The final cache (The Marx Brothers - GC2EQ0D) contains a special “First to Find” prize – A Marx Brothers DVD. Please feel free to take it or leave it for someone else if you are not a real fan.
