Geocache Description:

A drive up cache. Sort of.  You are just gonna have to look for it.

Many moons ago, teenagers and "extended adolescents" of my age, would roll out of bed at the crack of 2 pm in the morning and actually have to get dressed while we had our coffee / breakfast.  We then would have to get on an actual bicycle and ride to the nearest arcade, or, God forbid... walk... to play video games.  Oh yeah.  We had to do work around the house to get some extra cash to play these games because they cost a whole quarter each play.   That's Two Bits for the older croud who played pinball machines. 


This cache is placed in a mall that contained one of those arcades, Just Games. It has been gone for a very long time.   It was a safe place that had only one shooting.  I remember eating at the now defunct Golden Bear next door and pleaded with my Parents or Grandparents to take us to the loud noisy arcade after a pancake breakfast.  We would go in there to play fantastic, cutting edge games like Pong, Pac-Man, and Asteroids.  I remember when Pac-Man was huge.  I went there only to stand in line behind two idiots with a bag full of quarters.  Of course they were experts on this game, and it took like a million years to get my turn.  (I'm still waiting.)  The arcade was directly inline with where the cache is placed.  I'm gonna ask this only because I am curious. 


What is your favorite video game?  Preferably one that used actual quarters.  This is of course not required to log the cache.  But signing the log is required.  Have fun.

Congrats to Walt Grogan for the FTF
