A series of caches dedicated to the lesser known Looney
Tunes characters.
Most of us grew up watching Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird and
the rest of the characters on Saturday mornings, but how many of us
can still remember the rest of the crew. The ones that got some on
camera exposure, but were never the stars of the show.
I can remember most of them, How will you do?
All caches in the series are a combination of small, micros
or nano containers placed to be winter friendly. The series is
meant to be fun for the young and/or young at heart.
Gossamer is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros.
Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. The character
is a hairy, red monster. His rectangular body is perched on two
giant tennis shoes, and his heart-shaped face is composed of only
two oval eyes and a wide mouth, with two hulking arms ending in
dirty, clawed fingers. The monster's main trait, however, is bright
uncombed red hair. In fact, a gag in the 1980 short Duck Dodgers
and the Return of the 24½th Century lampoons this by revealing that
Gossamer is, in fact, composed entirely of hair. He was originally
voiced by Mel Blanc and has been voiced by Joe Alaskey, Jim
Cummings, and Dee Bradley Baker. The word "Gossamer" is derived
from the Middle English gossamer (a soft sheer gauzy fabric), from
"gos" meaning goose and "somer" meaning summer, which translates to
something light, delicate, or insubstantial. The name is meant to
be ironic, since the character is large, menacing, and destructive.
In fact, he is so terrifying that, in his first appearance, his own
mirror image flees from him; it is also revealed that he's afraid
of people.
All caches are hidden on a service road that parallels
highway 11. Do not attempt these caches from the highway. Safety
First.
