Geocache Description:

Just a little cache to commemorate the geocaching World Wide Flash Mob which occurred here in June of 2015.

Nice park with play equipment for kids, and picnic tables and barbecues. If you are a caching family, it's a good spot to plan a lunch break.

Log only. BYOP. Log is tiny. Feel free to just initial it.


If you are old like me, you will remember the famous photo of President Truman holding up a newspaper with the headline "Dewey Beats Truman," even though ultimately Truman had won. Our little flash mob pitted poet W.B. Yeats and Mary-Kate Olsen in a popularity contest, because the date of the event, June 13, was a date on which they both shared a birthday.

At the time of this writing, before the flash mob, I am anticipating a Yeats popular victory, but I could be wrong, just like the geniuses who printed that old headline. If I am wrong, like they were, then the name of this cache, celebrating the unexpected, will work pretty well. But if not, well, good for Mary-Kate, I say. You go, girl.

Congrats to SeekingFinds for FTF!
