Whirled Peas Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cliptwings: In the words of illustrious former NFL coach Jim Mora, "WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME?" I also uttered these words upon hearing about the price increase for entry and services in Catalina State Park (CSP) as of 25 February 2025. Responding to the advice of my attorneys Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe, I will not express my suspicions as to the timing and amount of these increases. But as a direct result, I will no longer own geocaches within the confines of this park. My wife Pooh-Pooh and I will enjoy the remaining time we have before our annual pass expires, but there are plenty of beautiful FREE city and county parks and preserves nearby to explore. I will attempt to transfer many of my 22 caches currently in CSP to the following parks: Honeybee Canyon, Canada del Oro Riverfront Park, Naranja Park, James D. Kriegh Park, Arthur Pack Regional Park, Linda Vista Trail, Dove Mountain Park, Tortolita Preserve, and the very delightful Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve. I really appreciate all of you fine geocachers who have visited my humble caches over the years. May we meet again soon in a different location.

Geocache Description:


This cache is located in Catalina State Park, where there is a miniscule fee to enter. The cache is near a seasonal campground. DO NOT WALK THROUGH AN OCCUPIED CAMPSITE TO GET TO THE CACHE!! ALSO, PLEASE LIMIT YOUR PARKING TIME AT THE NEARBY BATHROOM FACILITIES!! IF THE RANGERS RECEIVE COMPLAINTS FROM THE CAMPERS, THE CACHE WILL BE REMOVED AND I WILL CRY.  Sorry for shouting, but the Park Manager wanted me to emphasize this common courtesy.

One of the most crucial discussions we can have today is about whirled peas. Just about everyone wants whirled peas, but how do we achieve whirled peas? Some people give the issue their own spin that seems to revolve around particular political orbits. But I just think it's important that we don't swivel in our resolve to keep our gyrations smooth and steady. Remember, we only have one whirl to live in. Please re-lock the container after your pirouette by tilting the container one way or the other. As always, wear sunscreen and stay rotated. And watch out for desert critters such as birls.
