The actual cache is located at North 48 XX.XXX, West 123
XX.XXX.
This cache was originally going to be just a regular go-to
cache. But when we arrived at the location to make the hide we ran
into a peculiar woman out walking her dog. She seemed curious about
what we were up to, and during our little chat she told us a story
that gave us the chuckles….and almost (well, not really)
made us look fondly on her little yappy yorkie. Our puzzle idea was
inspired by her story.
Our short conversation was quite awkward because the
woman’s crazy dog nips, so we had to keep our distance.
Fortunately the little guy was distracted most of the time by the
crows that seemed to be intentionally taunting him from up in the
nearby fir tree. Anyway, the funny story that she told us was about
how this silly little dog came to be named Big Hunk. Apparently the
name is in reference to an attractive guy she met on a recent trip
to Vegas while playing blackjack at some back-street place called
the Orbitz. The man was a regular player there and on this
particular night was betting with bottle caps that were of
sentimental value to him. The bar owner said he could trade them
back after payday. Pretty strange story to hear on a random
meeting, but I guess she felt a need to explain why she was calling
out her dog's name. We had a good laugh, told her it was nice to
meet her, and were finally able to hide the cache once she left. As
for her dog, well, fortunately for him we left the bazooka at
home.
Hope you enjoy this little spot.
