Chocolate cake Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Alaskan Bev: Because the natural host is on its last legs and the area has seasonally become overrun with "campers." I have replaced this cache with "More Chocolate Cake." It'll post as soon as I procure a definite ok on the location (I hope) or else retrieve and relocate it.

Geocache Description:

Please read note of 6-25-16. No Trespassing signs may be placed near the cache due to illegal campers. We still have permission to cache there, however. Natural camo - this cache is in a nice safe place; a few small sticks hide some of its face. Brown camo GC bracelet for FTF. You'll be walking up a short hill and part-way down another. Please tread gently! BYOP.

I have just returned from my annual few-week sojourn visiting my beloved big sister in upstate NY.  Some health challenges have plagued her recently, preventing our usual caching marathon.  On the day the cake verses were written she had just received encouraging news from her doctor; we rejoiced with one of her favorite treats!

   She's celebrating victory

With sticky chocolate cake!

The doctor says recovery

Should follow in the wake

Of surgery and therapy

And all these pills to take.

To honor such a great reward

Should surely call for cake!

 

   Don't bother me right now because

I'm eating chocolate cake.

And I don't care if there's a deadline

I'm supposed to make.

The sweetest time of all is when

We put it in to bake.

I just can't wait, so hurry up

And cook, for goodness sake!

   If there were no more in the world,

Then I would be bereft.

The neatest thing is, till it's gone,

There's always one piece left!

Placed with the amused permission of the property manager (and Alaskan Bill is on the board here). You may drive to the end of the parking area/back driveway. Cache is about eye-high (to me) and naturally covered with a few leaves. Beautiful views from here! FTF: None other than - ta-da! lrb&mlb. If Alaskan Bill and I had placed bets on this one we'd have both won!
