Geocache Description:

First I give full credit to American writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak for the partial namesake of this cache.  This appears to be one of those ordinary caches, however most would agree that this may not be the case.

Congrats to Cachehole10 for the FTF! I am glad people are enjoying this one...remember stealth is needed!

My mother lived by the AC&F, where her parents owned the "Morgan Hotel".  It was a busy busiling place, loud and crowded during the 50's and 60's.  So while her mother (my grandmother and grandfather) where busy running the bar, she would seek out this place as her own area of imagination.  She speaks so fondly of this bog/swamp, you can see her mind travel back to when she was a child.  I am placing this here because of her, and her ability to find peace, when things are not so peaceful.

Please do not park in anyone's yard, and please do not park so that the road is blocked.  I used to have one close to here, and it was muggled, broken, and disappeared many times.  Please use stealth, don't sign the log near the GZ.  I am not giving away the size of the container, because I believe it would give things away.  I placed a free unlogged travel bug in there for the FTF!
