Geocache Description:


“Chico” can translate to “small” in Spanish, but the town of Chico, CA is no small fry! There’s greatness to be found here, if you know where to look. Here’s just one example.

Behold! Chico is home to the largest wooden yo-yo in the world! At least it was in 1982 when it was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. And this yo-yo is not just for show, yo! It really works! They take it out for a spin every so often, using a giant crane. 

"Big-Yo" (and a slew of normal-sized yo-yos) are displayed in a yo-yo themed museum just steps from this cache. The museum is free, but shares space with a toy and gift shop, so you can only see the giant yo-yo up close during store hours. However, you can see it through the window without going inside. 

Bring your own pen, and please replace the container's cap tightly!
