Geocache Description:

Fire up your griddle, it’s National Waffle Day!

Or … don’t. If waffles aren’t your thing, gear up to throw one back on August 25th, which is National Whiskey Sour Day.


Historical Origins

National Waffle Day, for instance, harkens back to August 24, 1869, when Cornelius Swartwout, of Troy, N.Y., received the first U.S. patent for the waffle iron.

The origin of waffles can be traced back much further to the Netherlands and Belgium in the Middle Ages (and precursors in Ancient Greece) but Swartwout revolutionized the device by connecting what had previously been two plates with a hinge, forming an iron that could sit atop a stove: voila the waffle iron was born.

 

This cache is in an industrial are. You should almost be able to drive up and sign the log. That is if you know where the log is..

This is not a rock pile search. It is not a light pole skirt, and you cn leave your ladder at home.

Bring your Geo-Pen (Although any other kind of pen will work).

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

Sorry, no hints for this one. [But one wood be helpful.]
