Geocache Description:


Everyone had seen or read The Wizard of Oz....

 

Emily Brown, known as Auntie Em, is a fictional character  from the Oz books.    She is the aunt of Dorothy Gale and wife of Uncle Henry,  and lives together with them on a farm in Kansas.  In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, she is described as having been a "young, pretty wife" when she arrived at Uncle Henry's farm, but having been "greyed" by her life there, implying that she appears older than one might expect from her chronological age. Baum tells us that when Dorothy first came to live with her, Em would "scream and press her hand upon her heart" when startled by Dorothy's laughter, and she appears emotionally distant to her at the beginning of the story. However, after Dorothy is restored to her at the end of the book, we see her true nature: she cries out, "My darling child!" and covers her with kisses.

There is no question about Dorothy's love for her aunt: indeed, her request to the magic Silver Shoes is "Take me home to Aunt Em!".  Dorothy was returned to her Auntie Em and you are invited to visit...  

You are searching for a bison tube hidden at this location.  Hope you have fun while visiting Auntie Em.
