Geocache Description:


We were out caching on this cold 26 degree New Years day. Wanted to start it off with a few smilies and to plant a few caches.
We always stop here after a hot summer day of caching. So when we were close my wise guy geo buddy said, do you want to go for an ice cream. And to play along I pulled into the parking lot. Alas they were closed. But we decided to plant a cache since we were here. Not to many muggles this time
of the year. But warm weather time will be a differant story. Lots of muggles.

No FTF just bragging rights. BYOP

A Few Fun Facts

It takes 12 lbs. of milk to make just one gallon of ice cream. Wonder how they fit it all in one carton?

The U.S. enjoys an average of 48 pints of ice cream per person, per year, more than any other country. Maybe we should make ice cream the fifth food group!

It takes an average of 50 licks to polish off a single-scoop ice cream cone. Challenge your family to a Lick-a-Thon, and see who finishes first!

The biggest ice cream sundae in history was made in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 1988, and weighed in at over 24 tons. You can't order that in an ice cream parlor!

In 2003, Portland, Oregon bought more ice cream per person than any other U.S. city. Looks like everyone else has a lot of catching up to do!

The ice cream cone's invention is linked to the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. An ice cream vendor reportedly didn't have enough dishes to keep up with the demand, so he teamed up with a waffle vendor who rolled his waffles into cones!
