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.
Henery is a tiny, brown chicken hawk with a forelock of feathers.
The young bird lives at home with his parents, and speaks with
tough-guy bravado. He was played in the first short by Kent Rogers.
The role was then assumed by Mel Blanc (and later by Joe Alaskey).
Henery has a high-pitched voice and perpetually angry temperament.
In a typical Foghorn/Henery cartoon, Henery strikes out on his own
for the first time, eager to capture (and presumably consume) a
chicken. Having led a sheltered life, however, he does not know
what a chicken looks like[3], only that chicken hawks eat them.
Foghorn presumes that this diminutive, naïve troublemaker is no
real threat; however, seeing the potential for annoyance, he points
& manipulates Henery in the direction of Barnyard Dawg. The
remainder of the cartoon is usually consumed by Dawg and Leghorn
alternately assuring Henery that the other is a chicken and
encouraging him to attack the "chicken" mercilessly. In a reversal,
the cartoon The Foghorn Leghorn has Foghorn wanting Henery to
believe Foghorn is a chicken, where Henery believes Foghorn is
merely a "loud-mouthed schnook," supposedly a separate kind of
creature. Later, when Barnyard Dawg calls Foghorn a
"good-for-nothing chicken", Henery finally wises up. Many cartoons
ended with Henery capturing one (or both) of his tormentors,
pragmatically shrugging his shoulders over whether his prey may or
may not be an actual fowl. Typically, he would decide that one of
them must be a real chicken and would therefore knock out and
capture both.
All caches are hidden on a service road that parallels
highway 11. Do not attempt these caches from the highway. Safety
First.
