Roadrunner Fun Facts #86 Traditional Cache

This is one of a series of 108 geocaches that I have placed to form a geoart of a Roadrunner. All are spice jars tethered to vegetation. Walking or an ATV are the best methods.If you drive, beware of thorns. There are a few fences. You can walk from the I-10 parking area. By vehicle, take the first exit west of the Border Patrol checkpoint (Lazy E) and go west a few miles to a road to the right to a dirt tank. Park here or enter by vehicle.

Charles "Chuck" Jones was born on September 21, 1912. He became an animator for Warner Bros. in 1936. He was the director of many Road Runner cartoons until 1965. Jones left the studio prior to the closing of the Warner Bros. animation department before it was revived by DePatie/Freleng enterprises. Jones returned to Warner Bros. in 1979 to work on "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie" and "Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas". In 1994, he directed "Chariots of Fur", the first Road Runner cartoon in almost 30 years. After Jones left, most of the Road Runner cartoons were directed by Rudy Larriva, and a few were directed by Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson. The best Road Runner and Coyote cartoons are still considered to be those from the Chuck Jones era.
