Geocache Description:

 

This is a thinker along with a trip down memory lane for many of us including myself.  You will have to figure out where the final location is by doing a little research and some digging to get to Where the Sidewalk Ends...       The cache is not at the posted coordinates.


When I was a youngster I visited Where the Sidewalk Ends as frequently as I could.  It was a place I met Skinny McGuinn, Peggy Ann McKay, Hector, and my personal favorite Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout.  I used to imagine I was the Baron of Ottendorf and would write notes to the friends I made there, and they would write secret messages back to me.  I wasn't crazy, I just sported an imagination stronger than most at the age I was at the time.  I recently found one of the notes/letters I recieved from my friends back in the day:

Oh no, where did it go?  It was just here!! I guess it was more of a secret message that you will have to do some looking for.  When you find it the real work will begin, I wish you luck and godspeed. The listed coordinates above are for parking.
