Geocache Description:

Get out your black and white TV’s: the ones that had to sit on a table rather than being mounted to a wall. Remember having to get up and turn a knob to change the channel? Remember never having to search the couch cushions for a remote? Those were the days…
I can remember getting ready for school while watching classic re-runs of the Three Stooges (often intertwined with the Little Rascals). Often imitated, but never duplicated. This cache is dedicated to the hybrid Stooge: Curly Joe

Not to be (but often) confused in name with the two separate stooges “Curly” and “Joe” Curly Joe (Joseph Wardell a.k.a Joe DeRita) was the final stooge to appear alongside of Moe and Larry. He starred in 7 feature films during his stint. He had a 13 year run from 1958 to 1971.

Rumor has it that Emil Sitka was considered to fill Larry’s spot. That trio never emerged.

The final is a taped pill canister hidden in a typical location. If you plan your approach carefully and depending on the season no or little bushwhacking should be involved. If, on the other hand, you make a bee-line, be prepared for thorns, bugs, marshes, and every other geo-hazard except for a steep climb!
