Dan and Chuck's Excellent Adventure Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Frito Bandito: The new owners have cleaned up the back and it’s time to say goodbye to this one. It's hard to believe that it was first hidden over 10 years ago when I was a brand new cacher. Many of my friends over the years have signed the log. I wish us all well, and thanks for the visits here.

This was our go to place for years for repairs to our fleet of used cars, but I stopped in to schedule some work, and the owner and the desk guy were both gone and there were new faces behind the counter. The new faces were the new owner's people, but when I asked what had happened, they simply made up some stories: one was staying with his sick mother for a while and the other was on vacation. One of the mechanics told me that they sold out. So I quit going there - I figured out that if they couldn't tell the truth about the new owners, they might be inclined to bend the facts when my turbo-encabulator started making funny noises.

They seem to have stayed in business, but I have never been back (except to check the cache)

Geocache Description:

Grab this relatively quick find while getting your DeLorean tuned up. (yes, I know that's from the wrong movie) Try not to stammer when the Redford Police ask you what you think you are doing there.

You are looking for the missing heat shield from one of the alien shuttles from The Mother Ship (GC2QZZN) which needed service after just a few investigative turns around Livonia and Redford. Through a series of mishaps, the shuttle lost it's forward heat shield and got itself tangled up in a coil of fence wire. The alien pilot discovered that the shuttle's turbo encabulator (visit link) was failing and high tailed it to a nearby repair station with a reputation for competent work on unusual vehicles. The alien shuttle is gone, but the missing heat shield is waiting for your signature on the log.

Congratulations PROBOB for FTF!
