Geocache Description:


There's nothing at the posted coordinates, though they are a good place to park to start the end of your Thanksgiving adventure.

Welcome to Prince William County's 2nd Annual Turkey Drop!  BONUS CACHE

In the infamous 1978 Turkey Drop Episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, the radio station launched a Thanksgiving Radio Promotion to give away Turkeys to fans for Thanksgiving. The idea was to toss the birds from a helicopter into the awaiting crowds below. WKRP news anchor Les Nessman was on location covering the chaos live:

"Oh, they're crashing to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! This is terrible! Everyone's running around pushing each other. Oh my goodness! Oh, the humanity! People are running about. The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Folks, I don't know how much longer... The crowd is running for their lives."

In the spirit of that episode, some NoVAGO cachers have agreed to drop Turkey caches throughout the Prince William County and Manassas areas with a code word inside that can be used to locate this bonus Turkey, er, um, Pie!


Pardon me, have you heard? 

This second time around Gobble Gobble is the word.

The clever Beak Zeke and his Lazy friend Susan

Have again outfoxed the Maligned Les Nesman.

Sit back, savor some Chanberries, have a Screwball Martini.

Find all these caches,  say grace, don't be a Thanksweenie!

Shoutout to my fellow PWC homies on another turkey drop

Now hustle, its dinner time.  Let’s go.  CHOP CHOP!

 

The Hoo crew is a big fan of Friends and think the Thanksgiving episodes are among some of the best.  So to honor the late Chanandler Bong, we mean Chandler Bing, we placed a cache in his honor.  Of course, Chandler needs his friends, so channel your inner Joey (never hard for Mr. Hoo), put on your eating pants, hork down some of Rachel's trifle (What's not to like?  Custard?  Good.  Jam? Good.  Meat?  GOOD!) and arrange the first letter of each of the keywords you've found in the series in alphabetical order.  So if the words were apple, banana, cat - enter ABC.  Good luck, God Speed, and don't forget to PIVOT!

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
 
Thanks NoVAGO!
