Geocache Description:


Visiting here today and seeing the statue erected to honor “The Great Potato” brings back wonderful memories of a childhood where the visit of “The Great Potato” on Christmas Eve was such a special event. Trying to be so good in the days leading up to Christmas so our name would be on the “nice” list as opposed to the “naughty” list. And on Christmas Eve, hanging our potato bags by the fireplace with dreams of waking on Christmas morning with 10, or even 20, pounds of Canada #1 seed in our sacks. Hoping upon hope that this might be the Christmas where “The Great Potato” left you the mulit-colored gift of round whites, reds and the oft dreamed of blues. Ahhhh, the memories.

 

This is a 4 stage, walking multi that has the possibility of taking upwards of 5 minutes to complete. I highly recommend, while here, a visit to the Potato Museum, gift shop and especially the PEI Potato Country Kitchen....good food. Please bring along a writing stick and as always, practice safe caching
