"Santamon" is a geocache placed in Griest Park in memory of a wonderful man, loved by many, John J. Trostle. (Jan.3,1949 - June 29,2015) "JT" as we knew him, was a Parrothead friend, that we met through, The Hanover Area Parrot Head Club. He was known by us for his good deeds as well as his shenanigans. The club's motto is, "PARTY with a purpose" participating in community service while enjoying a social environnment with others, who enjoy the sounds and perspectives of Jimmy Buffett music.
JT devoted his life to family and friends and was always helping others. He always made a PARTY better! He loved making people happy and brought smiles to many faces. He believed, "service to humanity is the best work of life". He always put others first. Even when JT was at the cancer center as a patient, he would come dressed as Santa and hand out lottery scratchoff tickets to other patients. He was a one-of-a-kind character and the life of the PARTY!
Griest Memorial Park in York Springs, where he lived with his wife Dottie and raised his two children, Kere and Jere, was his pride and joy. He spent countless hrs. making the park a place of which to be proud. He was a member of Griest Memorial Park Board and the Bermudian Jaycees. This park is the perfect place for a memorial geocache, in memory of our Santamon. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Cheers to Santamon!
Edit: 7-7-16 Party is Over. Lock replaced again, and that's just POO! If you'd like to know what POO equals, ( because you need a combination ), CHECK HINT.
This is a DAYTIME only cache! The park is patroled at night, No night caching!
There is a FTF pin, for the First To Find, BUT, it has a mission. Initial cache has smileys and dragonflies from skime4 and kayakathy to begin swag trade. One pen and a log included. (may want to bring a pen, just in case.)
CONGRATULATIONS to 2KATZHUNT on FTF! I'll be tracking that FTF coin to see where a NEW cache might pop-up! (: (: (: (: (: Kudos also to BeagleBaby67 and Rama41 for 2nd and 3rd. Thanks for coming out!
