Geocache Description:


What did the buffalo say when he dropped his kid off at school?

Bison

 

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED CORDINATES

 

It’s no secret that these tubes look nothing like real bison.

So what’s the reason behind the name?

 

The company that originated the bison tube concept is called Bison Designs.

 

In 2001 the people at Bison Designs created a product known as a

“Bison Capsule”. It was designed to carry and keep safe heart medicine.

 

It was the ingenuity of a geocacher that realized that it would make a fine container for a geocache that really brought it to the spotlight in popularity.
