So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

FenchurchE: Finally had a chance to swing by this one yesterday and it's definitely gone again. Since I no longer have a weekly piano lesson just up the street, I'm thinking it's time to let this one go... it was a fun one to do, but it does seem to have a habit of going missing.

Geocache Description:


"And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realised what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever.

This is her story."

-- So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish

This cache is named after the book by Douglas Adams where I originally got my name. It's the fourth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "Trilogy" and while I highly recommend it, I'd also suggest reading the others first if you want to make any sense of it.

We lived in this neighborhood for almost 15 years and absolutely loved it, so we wanted to place a cache celebrating all the good times we had here (even if the only fish we got came from the store).

There is absolutely no need to cross the fence or to enter private property to retrieve this cache. Parking is plentiful just down the hill at the park.
