MOTHER GOOSE

This is a series of 6 caches that will tell you about the origin of some Mother Goose Rhymes/Riddles that many of us may have grown up with. You will need to collect clues in each of the caches in order to do the final.



The original wording for Humpty Dumpty went as follows:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Threescore men and threescore more Cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was before.
The words 'Humpty Dumpty' can be traced back into the 17th century, when it referred to:
1. A drink of brandy boiled with ale. 2. A short, clumsy person of either sex. 3. A powerful cannon used in the Siege of Colchester during the English Civil War in 1648.
The riddle itself was first found in print in 1810. In 1871, in "Through the Looking Glass", Lewis Carroll presents Humpty and Alice in a lively discussion. It also graphically depicts Humpty in a drawing by artist John Tenniel as an egg on a wall. The drawing on this cache page was done by me with thanks for the idea to Mr. Tenniel.

This is a replacement for the original Humpty Dumpty Cache that kept going missing. Please note though - there is a new F.T.F. available and a smiley.
