Geocache Description:


4' up a good-sized juniper.

  We all make typos (Lord knows I do !!) . Mostly they are harmless and the receiver knows what is meant. Sometimes though, when it happens in a commercial or other public circumstance with many people likely involved, you just have to scratch your head and wonder how the heck? This little group of caches gives you a look at a few of my favorites.

" A 155 year old bottle of Allsopp's Arctic Ale was auctioned on eBay in 2007 as " Alssop's. Because the second " P " was missing, only 3 people saw the listing, and one of them bought it with a bid of $ 304. He then relisted it -with the correct spelling- and made over $ 500,000. 

Yikes !!!
