It's definitely time for a holiday! Wouldn't it be nice to relax quietly on the grass in a palmy oasis, gazing at the view of rippling water?
Daywalk Tours Inc (est. 2007) are pleased to announce our latest refined holiday excursion for your entertainment. This is a very short stroll, yet like our previous offerings it will enable you to spend quality time with your family.
You will be looking for the expected regular container; you will not need to leave the grass to reach it. In fact, lying down and relaxing on the grass is probably the best way to locate it.
Once you find the cache, background material on the history of the oasis and its surrounding area is provided for you to read while the children look at the swaps. We have also engaged a friendly local lady, Margaret, to act as your guide. (We haven't previously employed Margaret, so please let us know if her services aren't up to the expected standard.)
Daywalk Tours prides itself on its reputation for providing educational, politically-correct, family-oriented excursions for the discerning geocacher. References from previous appreciative clients are available on request.
