Geocache Description:


Today is Nov. 5th.  Guy Fawkes Day! 

We thought, what a better way to celebrate Guy Fawkes day than hiding a cache on nearby Fox Island!

This is a well camouflaged cache. It is barely big enough for a travel bug dog tag. There is a tag in there for a first to find prize. Please do not trample vegetation, put back as found or better. Stay safe as the side of this road can be busy at times. As well have fun. Bring your own pen. And...

 

Remember, remember! 
    The fifth of November, 
    The Gunpowder treason and plot; 
    I know of no reason 
    Why the Gunpowder treason 
    Should ever be forgot! 
    Guy Fawkes and his companions 
    Did the scheme contrive, 
    To blow the King and Parliament 
    All up alive. 
    Threescore barrels, laid below, 
    To prove old England's overthrow. 
    But, by God's providence, him they catch, 
    With a dark lantern, lighting a match! 
    A stick and a stake 
    For King James's sake! 
    If you won't give me one, 
    I'll take two, 
    The better for me, 
    And the worse for you. 
    A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope, 
    A penn'orth of cheese to choke him, 
    A pint of beer to wash it down, 
    And a jolly good fire to burn him. 
    Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring! 
    Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King! 
    Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
