Geocache Description:

If ever, oh ever a bacch there was

The Bacchaus of Oz is one because

Because, because, because, because, because

Beacause of that wonderful laugh he does

We're off to see the Bacchaus

The wonderful Bacchaus of Oz


While Bacchus was known to be the Roman god of agriculture and fertility, he may be better rememebered as the god of wine, debauchery, and drunken orgies. Copied from the Greek god Dionysu, his plants were vines and twirling ivy and he often carried a pinecone-topped staff. His followers were goat-footed Satyrs and Maenads, wild women who danced energetically during his festivals.


At the GZ, you will meet the giant Laughing Bacchus, created by artist Brian Somerville. Weighing in at around 1000lbs he was crafted together with foam, metal, fiberglass, and epoxy. Originally it was to be one of three. Fallen Bacchus, which can be seen nearby, was the second. The third was never completed.

Cache was placed with the permission from land owner. Please be respectful of the property and the structure when retrieving and re-hiding.
