Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. Vermonters have grown up with this poem. It tells us something about our ancestors, and can teach us to live more mindfully and economically through "Yankee Thrift". In this time of economic difficulty, the geocaching community can join the fight, by using creatively (and some not so creatively) recycled, reused, or repurposed cache containers, and filling them with lots of junk, er, delightfully passed on heirlooms. You can even pick some of them up while CITO! Save the planet, geocachers! Don't you feel thriftier already? Oh, but there is all that gasoline we use. There is that.
This series celebrates one of the common attributes some of us get from our thrifty Vermont ancestors. In this case, I got the container from mine! Not much room for swag, but maybe a geocoin or two.
