Geocache Description:


RICKSTRONG is the fun nickname for my good friend and LIVESTRONG mentor at the YMCA. Rick has been surviving stage 4 breast cancer for over 5 years and just turned 68 years young. He is an inspiration to everyone who meets him. Even though he is receiving chemo, he still does Zumba classes and climbs the rock wall with me every week. He is such an amazing fighter!!

Rick is stage 4 because they did not consider breast cancer soon enough.  I thought it important to have a cache because it seems that there are more men than women caching these days and I want all you men to consider breast cancer if you ever feel a lump.

There is also something very special about this hide.  SteeringStevie who is also in our Zumba class and in a wheelchair, helped me hide this cache.  It is a terrain of 1.5 but a wheelchair can go to GZ with assistance to push thru the vegetation. Today we created a geo-trail with the wheelchair as Stevie leaned over and pulled up all the logs and branches in the way!  Stevie personally placed the medium sized tupperware container and then added more cammo to conceal it. It was very exciting as this was her very first hide!   Rick was a professional race car driver in his spare time, so I went to the used car lot and got 25 cars to initially stock the cache. Please trade a car for a car.

Please use stealth as this cache is not very far from a very busy area.  Enjoy!!!

Congratulations to Mom of Many Hats and Cizzors on FTF!!!

Note: 10/16/2013 Since this cache location has been compromised, I am changing the cache from Premium to Basic, and changing from regular sized to a pill container I got from Rick. I won't mind adding more pill containers if it gets muggled again and again.
