Geocache Description:

This is the 6th in the Wizard of Oz (There's no place like home) series. I grew up in this area and enjoyed being "home" to place these caches.


According to lead Munchkin Jerry Maren, the "little people" on the set were paid $50 per week for a 6-day work week, while Toto received $125 per week. The Munchkins are portrayed by the Singer Midgets, named not for their musical abilities, but rather for Leo Singer, their manager. The troupe came from Europe, and a number of the Munchkins took advantage of the trip to immigrate and escape the Nazis. Professional singers dubbed most of their voices as many of the Midgets couldn't speak English and/or sing well. Only two are heard speaking with their real-life voices - the ones who give Dorothy flowers after she has climbed into the carriage.

*****The cache you seek is a micro. What you see before you will make you feel like you are a munchkin. There you will find the cache. Please bring your own pen as this is very small. Please be aware that during the summer this is a very busy place, so stealth is required. This is at a place of business and the owner has given permission for this placement.
