The story of Sleepy Hollow is set circa 2010 in the East side settlement of the Inland Empire, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of FlyBryFly, a sycophantic, lean, lanky, and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Redlands, who competes with Sierrawildflower & GeoHiker, for First To Finds. As FlyBryFly leaves a party he attended at the Riverside Cache Addicts Meet and Greet on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian GeoCacher who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American First To Find War, and who "rides forth to the scene of newly published GeoCaches in nightly quest of First To Finds." Sierrawildflower & GeoHiker mysteriously disappear from town, leaving FlyBryFly to First To Find everything. Although the nature of the Headless Horseman is left open to interpretation, the story implies that the Horseman was really FlyBryFly in disguise. The headless horseman was often seen here. An old man who did not believe in ghosts told of meeting the headless horseman coming from his trip into the Hollow. The horseman made him climb up behind. They rode over bushes, hills, and swamps. When they reached the bridge, the horseman suddenly turned into a skeleton. He threw the old man into the brook and sprang away over the treetops with a clap of thunder. It is rumored that the Headless Horseman can be summoned by signing the log sheet of his GeoCache here. Be swift. If you hear a gallop, hide!
