Geocache Description:


This Cache takes you to the perfect place to look for Champ the Sea Monster. 

The first sighting of Champ is from Iroquois and Abnaki. In their legends, he’s called Gitaskog, meaning "great serpent" or "big serpent." The earliest colonist sighting was in 1918 by Captain Crum who noted seeing the elusive Champ. Many used to believe that Cpt. Samuel de Champlain saw Champ, but when his journals were analyzed, it turned out he was referring to a garfish.

The legend continued to grow, with P.T. Barnum offering a reward for Champ’s capture, dead or alive, in 1873 and 1887. 

To this day, people young and old still hope to catch a glimpse of Champ, And this Cache is located right next to my favorite place to sit and look for him! 

This is my first Cache, I hope you enjoy it, And if you find Champ make sure to let me know!
