This cache was placed with permission but will require a bit of stealth. The nearby establishment graciously allowed it to be placed in an area that should help protect it from mischievous muggles. To locate the cache, you need to be on the south side of Main Ave (near the back alley). To unlock: PINT
The artwork on the cache inside was done by a local artist, McCal Joy, to honor our mutual friends, Blaine and Amanda (MayflowerII). Blaine and Amanda moved to this area from Ohio in 2013 and have since made it home by becoming involved in the community, buying a house, and most recently, adding a third member to their family through adoption. The art honors who they are and what they love and is shared in this GeoTour to represent what Fargo-Moorhead means to me: a place to find your chosen family.
The placement of this cache means the archival of a cache placed in my honor (GC7TWBE) so this feels like an appropriate place to honor them - and bring others to a place we love dearly. If you should happen to stop inside the nearby establishment, please mention this geocache to the staff - all of whom were delighted by its placement.
