Geocache Description:


This cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates...


Lummox was bored and hungry. I woke up in bed with a man and a cat. The thin air of Mars was chill but not really cold. He is a Mad Scientist and I’m his Beautiful Daughter. I see in Lunaya Pravada that Lunar City Council has passed on first reading a bill to examine, liscence, inspect--and tax--public food vendors operating inside municipal pressure. I thought I wanted to get married in the worst way. I know a place where there is no smog and no parking problem and no population explosion...

By the time I got to Miles’s house I was whistling. In the United Nations the Burmese delegation charged that the so-called Lunar Colonies were a cover-up for a conspiracy by China and the United States to build military bases on the Moon. All through Luna invaders were dead, if not that instant, then shortly. We did the last ninety miles down 66 from Clinton to Oklahoma City pushing hard, ignoring the fact that we were flat broke again, nothing to eat, nowhere to sleep. Before heading for the pool our wives argued over how Barsoomian warriors dress-- Fourteen hours later I had moved only twenty-five kilometers east of where I had to leave the tube system. The rest of 1898 was one long bad dream.
