Geocache Description:


This cache is placed in honor of the location of the original cannon used to start the race for Oklahoma land grab of 1862.  Okay it’s not really the location of the original cannon but that’s only because the original one was a small firecracker tank that shoots sparks. Man, I love those things…oh where was I.

Anyways, this container is placed in respect of the approximate scene of the second to the original boom box that was used to start the first barefoot three-legged race for soil commodities in the area later known as Oklahoma.  You know three-legged races make me think of spring, picnics and fried chicken.  Boy, I sure like fried chicken… dang it I lost my train of thought again.   I can’t remember where I was.  I will have to start over.

Third times always a charm, this golden egg is placed in retrospect to the… I hope you know I mean that figuratively.  I don’t really have a goose that lays golden eggs.  That would be AWESOME!  I could buy a boat, a truck, a yeti cooler, maybe even a new rod and reel.  You know that would make a great country song.  Crap, I did it again...what were we talking about.

You know the fifth time gets is done almost every time, this hide is positioned to represent a day, a glorious day, much like today.  The birds were singing.  A gentle breeze was blowing.  A geocacher’s brain was growing.  Wait, what?  Focus….Focus.  What about a Ford Focus?  I hear they have improved the quality over the years.  You know I knew a guy that had a SVT Focus… Ahhh…lost it again.

Okay, okay, this is it.  Here we go.  I got this.  I know I can do this.  Concentrate…Concentrate…

This cache is located in honor of YOUR wild, outlandish, distracting, complicated, meaningless, convoluted thought process.  Try to ponder on your log longer than a “TFTC” or “Great Hide.”  You’re getting a 5/1 this is where you earn it.  Your mission…should you choose to accept it (queue music) is to write a log that has at least 50 words.  It can be anything put on your creative hat.  Log a poem, a song or even a movie quote.

“I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.”

Come on give it a shot.  What have you got to loose?  Just a smiley.

A big congrats to Elvis on the FTF.  That’s odd he lit the match that started this whole thing and has logged the FTF.  So Weird.  

Congrats to Alice and Spacelord for the FTF!! Awesome post!!
