Geocache Description:

We can all be a little "loony" at times, but in this instance it is more than that. This cache is being placed at the request of the owner of the property, my father-in-law. Please be respectful of the property and place the cache back where you found it or better!

Ever since I have known my wife and her parents, they have always liked the outdoors and in particular "loons." They have camped and kyaked in the Adirondaks of NY several times and go camping every summer. When they migrated from upstate NY a few years ago, several loons traveled with them. But don't worry, the loons are kept inside to protect the house. They are also great for those early morning wake up calls to the sound of nature!

On the drive out here, please be very careful. There are a lot of Amish families in the area. It is a picturesque view of a mixture of Amish farms and the "English" encroaching in on their traditional way of life. Across the country road from them are some Amish farms and within a country mile, there are at least 3 Amish one-room schools, an Amish bakery, a blacksmith, and carpenters. Plus a lot of them open up fresh fruit and vegetable stands too!

This cache is placed close to the road and the driveway. There is no need to go up and disturb the owners, but if they happen to be outside, it is okay to say hello. They may even watch from a nearby window as you discover this cache. The cache only holds a log and may be able to hold a small tracking coin, but not much room for anything else. BYOP to sign the log.

As a side note, we named this cache in honor of her father, who was the biggest "Loony" person we knew. He could get us all laughing so hard at time. He will be missed.
