Geocache Description:

Best-laid plans of mice and men oft (en) go astray--- one of those famous quotes that I often think of when even to my best planning things don’t always work out the way they are supposed to.


This quote comes from a book I remember having to read in my younger days, Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck. I wonder if they still read it today. After searching for some information on line about the book, I find that it is on the list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century. It was great story about two migrant works, George and Lennie and the struggles they endured while moving from place to place looking for a Job. This book takes place in California during the Great Depression.

I placed this cache in memory of the great “new” place that was going to be built here, but I guess like the title says, it never made it. I have to say I was a little skeptical about the idea, but was secretly hoping the dream would come to fruition. However, I guess our “recession” could be to blame for the failure or poor money management.
