This is the second in an evolving series of caches which are my tributes to Dr Seuss books. These formed part of my childhood reading and I also read them to my own son when he was younger.
The Lorax was Dr Seuss’s own favourite of all of his books and one I particularly admired. "The Lorax," he once explained, "came out of my being angry. In The Lorax, I was out to attack what I think are evil things and let the chips fall where they might."
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
There is a small copy of the book in the cache, if you have time to stop and browse.
Please leave the book in the cache when you have finished …along with large quantities of money to support my excessive Geocaching habit!
Ham village
A picturesque village with Church (CM a future project!), pub, village green and Manor House. For more details about the village, please refer to cache GC623K5 - Green, Eggs & Ham – set on the village green.
The cache
A camo, themed 0.5L plastic Lock ‘n’ Lock box, big enough and safe enough for Trackables and Geocoins.
When placed it contained:
- logbook
- pen
- mini copy of The Lorax book (to stay with the cache)
- Travel Bug "Happy Birthday Pamela"
- Gold Geocoin "Celebrating 10 years of Geocaching" and
- small toy animals from Dartmoor zoo.
To get to the cache, head along the road towards Shalbourne until you see a footpath.
You will encounter stiles. These have dog gates - but extra wide Geohounds may present a problem!
Please be aware that the footpath runs through a garden. The owners are aware of the cache, but please respect their property. They are not Geocachers and cannot help you with the location.
Parking
Plenty around the green as per the parking coordinates.
Congratulations to Pebbles & Co. for First to Find...with a little prompt from Roland!
