Geocache Description:

Theo. Lesieg, Theodore Geisel

 


There was a Cache here then they made the place clear. Out went the turtle shell and tether ball. In went the the slides and some some ways to feel tall. Do not lose hope or think that it's useless. Give a good look and your search won't be fruitless. There's young ones about so careful, slyness. Does it fit? Can it Fit? Yes if just right it sits. "Oh the sea is so full of a number of fish, if a fellow is patient, he might get his wish."

 

This is the second Dr. Seuss themed hide I've put in the area. McElligot's Pool is one of his early books and the first where he painted the illustrations instead of drawing them in pen and ink. I read it a lot to the little ones and it has some of my favorite art of all his works. 

 

I freely admit stealing schemes for this hide from some nearby caches I used as a guide.

This is the second in a series of Dr. Suess themed hides. The others so far are:

And to Think That I Saw It

The Lorax

Yertle the Turtle
