Geocache Description:

This is the seventh in the ‘Gotta Cache ‘Em All’ range of geocaches.


Farfetch'd is derived from far-fetched, meaning unbelievable. Its Japanese name ‘Kamonegi’ 鴨葱is a combination of 鴨 kamo (wild duck) and 葱 negi (spring onion). Additionally, kamonegi is an abbreviation of the proverb 鴨が葱をしょって来る ("a duck comes bearing green onions"), which apparently means 'something surprising but convenient'.

Farfetch'd resembles a brown duck with a white underbelly. It has a yellow beak and a V-shaped, black marking on its forehead. It has wings as big as its body, which appear to be prehensile enough to substitute for hands. It has yellow legs with webbed feet.

Farfetch'd is always seen carrying a leek stalk or spring onion. It carries it in its wings, and sometimes chooses to hold it in its beak or feet instead. Unable to live without its stick, Farfetch'd will defend the stalk with its life. Known uses for the stick include use as a weapon, nesting material, and emergency food source. It is selective about which sticks it will use, and has been known to fight over good ones. Farfetch'd are found in grasslands and are rare because of over-hunting them for food.

 

PLEASE TAKE A LAMINATED IMAGE OF FARFETCH’D FROM INSIDE THE CACHE AND HOLD ONTO IT. REMEMBER TO KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR FURTHER CACHES IN THIS RANGE, APPEARING IN THE FUTURE. YOU GOTTA CACHE 'EM ALL!!
