This cache was hidden in honor of my father and some of the crazy sayings he came up with.
Fathers always seem to have the best sayings. Many of them have a history, while others are probably just made-up.
Whenever I had too many toys lying around, my dad would say, "You've got more toys than Carter's got pills!" Or, when saying goodbye, he would always throw-in the old proverb, "Don't take any wooden nickels."
Apparently, there was a product called 'Carter's Little Liver Pills' that were highly advertised in the 50's or 60's.
Anyway, I'd like to hear some of your own parents/grandparents' off-the-wall sayings. If you can think of any, please add them to your log.
True to the name of the cache, you will stick out like a sore thumb when retrieving it. Please use caution and park well off the road.
