Geocache Description:

The Hockhocking Adena Bikeway is a 19 mile trail along the Hocking River in Athens County.

This cache is placed on the train tracks side of the bike path inside the tree line. The cache is not near the farm on the opposite side of the path. 

The Addams Family began as a series of cartoons in the New Yorker in 1938. The first TV series aired from 1964-1966, and many other series, animated shows, movies, and a Broadway musical followed. I grew up watching the show, and I'm sure many others did the same- regardless of our ages.

Gomez is the patriarch of the family. He is "husband to Morticia (if indeed they are married at all) ... a crafty schemer, but also a jolly man in his own way ... though sometimes misguided ... sentimental and often puckish — optimistic, he is in full enthusiasm for his dreadful plots ... is sometimes seen in a rather formal dressing gown ... the only one who smokes" (by creator Charles Addams). He is very wealthy and owns businesses around the world.  He also spends his money extravagantly and is devoted to Morticia.  The caches in this series are meant to be easy grabs for those enjoying the bike path.  Most will be right off the bike path and along the tree line. Please look both ways before retrieving/replacing the cache, the path is very busy. Have fun and I hope this series brings back a few memories. 

(Thanks to Heavy Metal for some of the phrases used in the description of this cache series.)
Congratulations to Tall & small for the FTF!!!
