Quick walk and grab on a neighborhood walking path. I suggest parking on Centennial Road to the north of this cache and follow the sidewalk along 96th Street. Lots of houses back up to this trail, so be aware of who may be watching before making the grab. Bring your own pen/pencil.
This is part of a series of caches all using the same container. Be sure you get the container lid back on tightly and replace the cache where you found it.
************************* DR. PEPPER *************************
The U.S. Patent Office recognizes December 1, 1885 as the first time Dr Pepper was served. It was introduced nationally in the United States at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition as a new kind of soda pop, made with 23 flavors. Its introduction in 1885 preceded the introduction of Coca-Cola by one year.
It was formulated by Brooklyn-born pharmacist Charles Alderton in Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas. To test his new drink, he first offered it to store owner Wade Morrison, who also found it to his liking. Patrons at Morrison's soda fountain soon learned of Alderton's new drink and began ordering a "Waco". Alderton gave the formula to Morrison who named it Dr Pepper.
