Geocache Description:


We found this spot and decided it really needed a cache. This should be a fairly quick park-n-grab. Parking is available near the cache and there is even a small playground at the south-west corner of the park for the kids to pay at when you are done. Bring your own pen...

Some History:

Sanford and Son is an American sitcom, based on the BBC's Steptoe and Son, that ran on the NBC television network from January 14, 1972, to March 25, 1977.

Known for its edgy racial humor, running gags and catch phrases, the series was adapted by Norman Lear and considered NBC's answer to Archie Bunker. Sanford and Son has long been hailed as the precursor to many other African American sitcoms. It was a ratings hit throughout its six season run. In 2007, Time magazine included the show on their list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time".

While the role of Fred G. Sanford was known for his bigotry and being cantankerous, the role of Lamont Sanford was usually a peacemaker and more conscientious. At times, both would involve themselves in schemes. Other colorful/unconventional characters were Aunt Esther, Grady Wilson, Bubba Bexley and Rollo Lawson.

Fred portrayed a sarcastic, irascible schemer whose frequent get-rich-quick ideas routinely backfired. His son Lamont longs for independence, but loves his father too much to move out on his own and leave the trouble-prone Fred unsupervised. Though, each owns an equal share in the business (though technically Fred is the boss), Lamont often finds himself doing all the work and ordering his father to complete tasks and duties. Fred often insults his son, usually calling him a "Big dummy!" Lamont insults his father as well referring to him as an "Old fool!" Despite this, the two share a close bond and regularly come to each other's aid.

Fred's deceased wife, Elizabeth, according to him died around 1947. He would look up (as to heaven) with his hand across his chest in times of distress, faking a heart attack saying, "This is The Big One, Elizabeth! (I'm coming to join ya honey...)".
