This short and sweet 2 stage Multi-Cache commemorates a second incident in a series of a little known historical-exacerbation of prosaic longitudinal insignificance at a location everybody has forgotten about. This cache honors this spot as the start of the origin of one of the most cruel 'put-down's' in the history of put-downs. Well, maybe not as bad as "Your mother wears army boots', but it's close.
This multi-cache involves finding a beautiful cemetery on the other side of the hill from the mall. Drive slowly and respect the property and graves. A dear friend of mine is buried here and I've always loved this place and surprised when I saw no cache located here. No night caching. Once in the graveyard, not far off of a drivable road, you'll find a grave marker for E. Woods at the coordinates given. As you gander at Ms Woods marker, add 4 to her day of death. You will get a number(AB). Now add ".0AB" to the North coordinates last three numbers. You will walk directly North to stage 2, or as the smart people like to say, "0 degrees" to fetch the cache you so desire. ****************************************************** Now if I may so indulge you, I have a story to tell and I'd love for you to listen, so here it goes... This story continues the cataclysmic meanderings of the not so famous explorer Corky Meriwether and his wife Edna. (As left off in GC32GMH) A torrid story of acrimonious tepid adulation. A few years after the first W080 00.000 incident, Corky and his wife Edna are now living on Mall Mountain. Corky named it Mall Mountain after he almost was mauled by a bear. Corky not being the great speller and as stubborn as he is, left it as is. As the tale goes, one morning in the fall Corky decided he must go fetch some meat as the diet of Cinnabon, Sbarro Pizza and T&L Hotdogs were wearing thin on him. Never one to be ungrateful, Corky thoroughly thanked his friend Hezikiah Coney for the recipe of a new food product called a Hot Dog, but he was craving fresh venison at this present time. So he set off, as all good men do, with his dear wife Edna carrying his backpack and gun for him. Upon spotting his quarry, a fine buck deer of ginormous proportions, he called Edna to fetch his rifle. When Edna drew close she stepped into a hole and promptly broke her ankle and passed out from the pain. The sight of the final stage of this cache commemorates the exact location Corky Meriweather began digging a grave for his wife thinking she was dead. She awoke 5 minutes into his presumptuous yearnings, maybe a bit too happy. As she was 'coming to', she could hear Corky singing a song that would later become the mantra for men burying their wives everywhere. "Ding, Dong The Witch is Dead" This did not make for a happy Edna Meriwether and the arguing once again began. The argument led into Edna lashing out at Corky and telling him that he looks like he got a "Mall Haircut". A most unsavory insult that still lingers amongst the list of "things you just don't say" unless you want a fat lip. People swear that if you listen closely at the first stage you can hear Corky calling his wife to fetch his rifle. At the final stage, if you listen close to the wind, you will hear somebody whispering to you that it looks like you got a "Mall Haircut". ***************************************************** Well done to SSPG for the FTF a full day after being published in what I thought was a geocaching crazy town. Slackers are right SSPG....thanks for going after this one.............. *****************************************************
