Geocache Description:

Another cacher suggested that maybe if we started adding the word Battleship to our cache titles, they might actually get published.




Bubble Yum is a brand of bubble gum marketed by The Hershey Company.

Introduced in 1975 by LifeSavers, the bubble gum was the first soft bubble gum created.

In 1977, rumors began to spread that the gum's soft, chewable secret was the addition of spider eggs.

In March, the Life Savers Company addressed the issue with an official full-page rebuttal printed in prominent U.S. newspapers (including the New York Times), to dispel the rumor and restore public confidence.



Sales of the gum soon surpassed sales of Life Savers candy, and it became the most popular bubble gum brand.

Nabisco bought Life Savers in 1981, and The Hershey Company acquired the brand in 2000.



Bubble Yum's official mascot is Floyd D. Duck, an anthropomorphic punk-style duck character.



About the cache: If you have visited IHP #76, you know where to park, unless you are daring and have a brand new tow rope (used once).

The terrain rating is due to the short but steep climb you have to make to retrieve the cache.

You may be able to drive within a few feet depending on time of year and condition of the road. It does say "Enter At Own Risk"

Don't forget those special symbols!
