St Nicachelas Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

SMuddT:
Going to do something that I don't usually do here. Going to put Santa away. For a season, at least

After a recent log, I really thought this one was gone. And in fact it was!
But in the process of cleaning up the area. I found the old cache! The one I replaced nine months ago.
Maybe I'll figure out a new kind of hide here. Or maybe I'll just let the area go! I am thinking about a night cache nearby…....

Geocache Description:


Twas some night before Christmas, and all thru the park
Some cachers were stirring, just out on a lark;
The trees were all dripping, and with brambles were bound,
To make sure St. Nicholas ne'er would be found;
Non-FTFers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Park n Grabs danc'd in their heads.

With many asleep, and I on my iPhone,
Searchers are seeking, in pairs and all alone.
Then out in the woods there rose such a clatter,
The cops were called out, to see what was the matter.
I edited the listing, as fast as I might,
Making certain the cache, was not found at night!

Several trailheads will lead you, from car to ground zero,
And though hilly, the terrain, will not take a hero.
Thirty feet off the trail, near bends left and right,
Down low so that muggles, won’t get a sight.
If poor satellite reception, frustrates your search,
Remember all elves love a hazelnut perch!

Though I like to hide caches, near rock or up tree,
and all stumps are favorites, nearly each one I see,
Tis sharing the world's wonders, I most like to do,
Thus giving entertainment to me and to you!
My fondness for caching grows with each log I read —
Feel free to email me, if hint you do need!

This year’s been amazing, it’s all ‘cause of YOU,
My visits to Cougar, Squak, Issaquah, too.
The lessons I’ve learned, the things I will teach,
I’m dreaming of long days, spent on a beach!
Until then this listing is intended to say,
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a great day!
