Geocache Description:


Back in 1975 a marketing genius named Gary Dahl got the idea that a rock would make a perfect pet because it wouldn't need care or food and would never die. The beauty was in the marketing, he made custom cardboard boxes complete with straw in the bottom and holes cut in the sides so the new pet could "breath". He even included a 32 page instruction manual full of puns and jokes about the care and feeding of your Pet Rock. The fad only lasted about six months but Dahl sold 1.5 million Pet Rocks and quickly became a millionaire.

We had alot of fun with our Pet Rock years ago. We were even able to teach it several tricks like "Sit" and "Stay". With a little help we could even get it to "Roll Over" but that was about as far as we could go with it. Then sadly when our Rock got older, he began to hang around with a rough crowd and got into trouble more and more. Finally, he ended up here in Pet Rock Prison...at least he has alot of company! Please bring your own pen, he's not allowed to have sharp objects.

Don't park within 15 feet of the stop signs and please put the cache back EXACTLY where you find it.
Congrats to Squeak16 for FTF!
