Geocache Description:

RESCUE OF THE CAVE BOY


As I have recited before, I grew up in the caves of Ed Levin Park.  It was a pleasant life, living on fish, and having nary a care in the world.  The park rangers looked the other way, and sometimes gave us food or clothing.

Our family had snuck into the United States from Sweden, but we overstayed our visa.  So, we were always looking over our shoulder for agents from I.C.E.  We changed our name from "Jansen" to "Basso" to thwart the immigration authorities. (Later, we became citizens, but we liked the name, "Basso," so we kept it.)


Well, one day, I decided to explore my strange world.  So, I headed over to Mission Peak, and explored the various canyons.  The problem was, I got lost, and didn't know how to get back.

My parents rounded up all the other cave dwellers from Sweden, and they launched a manhunt (well, "boyhunt.")  They finally found me safe--just a little tired.


To commemorate this event, my parents placed this sign post right at GZ.  They called it "21" because that is how many days I was missing.  Before we left, Ma and Pa Basso placed a little container to commemorate this day.


I don't know if the little container is still there--can you help me find it?
