Urban Forest Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Fee&me: Looks like the hiding place has become difficult to access in both hot and cold weather. Meanwhile, The Old Man of the Forest has retired from geocaching (and literally moved out into the forest) so it's time to retire his tribute cache as well. It's still there, if you have the gumption to get it. I love pokologan12's log below about "she forest her way into the container container"! 😂

Geocache Description:

Once upon a time, there was an outdoorsy guy who enjoyed hiking, canoeing, and camping.

One day he went out shopping with a shoebox full of Canadian Tire money and $6 in cash, and returned home with his first GPS.

His first foray into geocaching ended in 3 DNF's.

His next try at geocaching ended with 9 Finds!

Thus having figured out the game, he immediately started in on a 366-day caching streak. That's right: as of today (24 October 2012) F0restGrump will fill the final square of his calendar, only 368 days after his first find!

What an amazing feat! Has this ever been done before? Certainly it's worthy of a tribute cache!

We learned about F0restGrump's quest when, only 29 days in, he logged our Challenge: Can you spell Ottawa?   In order to fulfill its requirements, he'd been inspired to discover some new cache types. The first Event he attended was also one we hosted.

It's been lots of fun to watch F0restGrump's calendar fill up day by day over the last 11 months.

There's a special gift for F0restGrump taped to the cache container. You'll recognize it; please leave it for him. Inside is another forest-themed FTF prize, just in case F0restGrump himself is not FTF.

I'm afraid the hide is more characteristic of the CO than of the Honouree, but at least we made it a Trad!
