A small series of caches in State Gameland 87. Please be sure to abide by all SGL rules, including but not limited to, wearing appropriate amounts of blaze orange during designated seasons.
I have been referring to this series as Gameland Goodies, hence the "GG" in the title. Each cache will feature a different type of "goodie" and some fun facts about each will be provided in the appropriate description.
- October is National Pretzel Month.
- Perhaps because of its religious roots, the pretzel has long been considered a good-luck symbol. German children wear pretzels around their necks on New Year’s Day. In Austria in the 16th century, pretzels adorned Christmas trees, and they were hidden along with hard-boiled eggs on Easter morning.
- More than $550 million worth of pretzels are sold in the United States annually; 80 percent are made in Pennsylvania, where hard pretzels originated.
