Geocache Description:

Unofficial "bonus" cache for the Alphabutt series. When I get time, I might even add links. :)
NOTE: Alas, this is not really a bonus cache any more as I have not been able to keep up with the maintenance to keep everything in this series going. I will go ahead and leave this one up for now, since it wasn't an official bonus cache, but unfortunately, the whole series is not attainable any more.

Well folks, I kept thinking it might be nice to honor those who have found the whole series, but I wasn't about to go around adding things to collect in all the caches lol. So I decided to do the kind of cache where I can post and edit a Hall of Fame.

Anybody can find this cache, because it isn't a true challenge, but if you put in your notes you have them all, I will add you to the list. It will be on your honor, at least for now, because I don't have time to check! If you cheat, bad geokarma on you forever! May your DNFs be plentiful and your twisted ankles knock you down!

And of course you can add a note later if you find this one before you find all the others. :)

As for the name... if you have gotten several of these, you will know how fitting it is. I don't think I realized just how annoying bush caches could be until I became a plentiful cache owner. I spotted this area, and then the name came to me, and then it HAD to be the Alphabutt bonus!

The readings I took were WAY off when I looked at the satellite map, but I think I pinpointed some good coords. Approach from the North side of the gym, and you will be battling the tree, ahem bush, just before the black fence. Push and turn to open. Starting with some swag and a couple TBs, including the launch of a new series for me... :)!

HALL OF FAME... who will be first?!
BUSHMA!!! And he was FTF too!
