Grandma Mushroom was tickled pink when we told her our plans to make this a geocache. You have full permission to enter the property, sign log and stamp your stampbook. We made a hand carved mushroom stamp for this. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP! We placed a blank stamp logbook for you to place your signature stamp on. BYOP!
The geocache is NOT located at the posted coordinates! The coordinates will take you to a hidden bison tube that has specific directions to the marker. Bring a compass to discern cardinal directions. We wanted to make this as close to a traditional letterbox as possible. Daytime caching only! Our top concern is respect towards other grave markers. We urge anyone who is having trouble with this to view the included pictures, hint and waypoint that has the final coordinates for the grave marker. Use your geosense to find stage one, I will place the clues from stage 1 in the hint so that someone who is unable to locate the bison tube can still reach the final. Once you reach the grave marker locate the vase bottom in the center.Turn the base slightly counterclockwise and pull up on it.
Grandpa Rich played a huge role in my life. He was basically my father growing up. His calm and patient demeanor made him a great teacher. He was the first person I came to if I was having problems or needed someone to talk to. Grandpa ‘Rich’ was the kindest person that you could ever imagine. He always took great care of his family and close friends. I admired the way people always spoke so highly of my grandfather. He would have everyone in the room laughing within minutes with his off-the-wall humor. We all greatly miss him and were lucky to have his positive influence on our lives.
Grandma ‘Mushroom’ has been a huge influence on my life as well. She paired extremely well with my ‘late’ grandfather. She is a social butterfly and always has been. My best memories of growing up involve her. She was always the facilitator of family gatherings, BBQs, and parties. She felt it was her duty to be the keystone of the family. She seemed to be able to bring everyone together and squash their differences. She has been an avid traveler her whole life. My childhood, up to age 16, was basically one huge camping trip with her. She procured the name ‘Grandma Mushroom’ from working 25 years at Moonlight Mushroom Mines in Worthington Pa. She is now an awesome great grandmother to my 3 kids and niece.
Check out the Ginko Biloba tree close by! I love the fan shaped leaves. It has nothing to do with the find, but I really find these to be a beautiful tree.
Remember to LEAVE the ‘Mushroom Stamp’ in the container. Thanks!
