I was returning to my hotel (hopefully that statement will soon have the word "house" instead of "hotel" ) after failing on a FTF quest and chickening out on a solo attempt at a demon of a tree climb. I pulled into this neighborhood and thought: "Hide a cache?" My answer to that question is usually "Yes!!!" My family can attest to that. So I looked around, did a cache search and learned the name of my location.
To be honest, I don't believe Mr. Gump has ever done anything to deserve such a severe and archiac punishment. OK, his restaurant chains are popping up in most tourist areas, but he was very brave during the war, created an iconic t-shirt, told the POTUS about his urinary issues, and ran across the country. As I am a distance runner myself (never did a transcon run but ran a short segmant with someone doing one) I think Mr. Gump deserves a pardon.
I hid this cache with recently purchased supplies. Now, if you go to the local dollar store (and there are a LOT around here), don't expect a container you buy to withstand a thermo nuclear war. This one barely stays shut - so please do your best to re-shut it as well as possible. It has a handful of trinkets inside and I think I tossed in a few coins. Fresh log that is double-bagged. Even a writing instrument (I crossed off the hotel's name and added "caccbag"...so it really is now a true collectors' item).
It is not on any residential property. It is in a bunch of foliage with flowers so please do not trample the growth - you don't need to step in because the cache can be retrieved from outside the landscaping. Most of the goodies are kid-items, so they can grab a highly valuable dollar store toy.
Have fun....and please give Mr. Gump a break.
