The Iron Fortress of Düke Dolefül
The Doleful Pond Saga: Chapter I
From his mighty Iron Fortress, Düke Dolefül (see protrait) lords over all he surveys! That’s the image the Düke tries to present but in truth he is locked in a fierce struggle with Sir Geoffrey De Cache and Egg McCrusty for control of the Duchy of Dolefül Pond. The very name of this liquid terrain feature and its environs is a matter of bitter contention. Sir Geoffrey styles himself the Emperor of Lake Sorrow whereas Egg has declared himself Secretary General Supreme of the Liberation Pond Anti-Feudalist Geocache Collective. Even the habitually aloof Rock Lobster entered the fray when the Düke, Egg, and Sir Geoffrey all refused to declare The B-52's Rock Lobster the best dance song in the history of human civilization.
And thus began The Battle of Doleful Pond...
This excerpt from my forthcoming fan fiction novel Secret History of the Geocache Wars contains precisely zero hints but I will tell you that this cache is under something obsolete, ferrous and historically interesting.
**Winter weather may make this cache more difficult to find**
