The Reeve's Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Greetings from your Community Volunteer Reviewer,

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

Geocache Description:


Slender and choleric the Reeve appeared;
As close as ever he could he shaved his beard;
Around his ears the hair was closely shorn,
And docked on top, the way a priest’s is worn;
His legs were long and lean, with no more calf
Than ye would find upon a walking staff.
Well he could keep a garner and a bin;
There was no auditor could do him in.
And he could estimate by drought and rain
What he would get from seed, and how much grain.
-Geoffrey Chaucer, Translated by Frank Earnest Hill

A Reeve is a carpenter, or someone who manages someone else’s estate or farm. This particular Reeve is fairly nasty (in more ways than one) but don’t let that keep you from going to get this one. It’s at a great place, reflecting the Reeve’s profession. Since people are having trouble with this one due to the amount of muggle activity, I'd suggest going later in the day or early in the morning. My family has been friends with the "landowner's" for a couple generations and they are fantastic, honest (unlike the Reeve), good people. They love that a cache is hidden here, so don't let that scare you away.

Geoffrey Chaucer (most famous for writing The Canterbury Tales) is known as “The Father of English Literature” and was the first person to be buried in what is now known as the Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey. In the late 14th century everything was written in Latin, Italian, German and French, but Chaucer, (the amazing rebel that he was) decided that he would write in the language of his people, English. I feel it’s about time Little Rock had some Literature strewn about the city.

The Canterbury Tales was going to consist of 120 tales, but only 28 were written before he died, leaving it unfinished. However it is still one of the most remarkable pieces of literature to date. It has everything in it from the greatest moral tales to the most sexually vulgar, what more could one want?

Set Up
This is set up in the same manner as the AR state parks caches. Each cache has its own feel to it and is a traditional cache, but on the top of each cache there will be a number that you plug into a set of coordinates, to show where the final cache is hidden. Unlike the AR state park department I don’t have enough money to supply geo coins, but I’m also not putting these all over the state and there aren’t 52 of them. However the swag will be more substantial than the every day cache.

These caches are designed and named for their character. Note the location as well.

********Unfortunately I’ve had some severe trouble maintaining the canterbury caches as a multi-cache, so FOR NOW they are going to simply be caches of their own. Sorry for misleading you on this quest.

Congrats to RonWhite for the FTF, even when the coords were somehow in the middle of Cantrell...
