Way back when in 2008 the very first local cacher I met was Sophy Brown. AKA 911 BrownFamily. She lived across the street from me and taught me many things about geocaching. I think the first 20 or so caches I found were all her creations. She brought amazing homemade dishes to geo-events and we shared our love of endurance races and being in the great outdoors. She had a one of a kind personality that was LOUD and PROUD that made her unforgetable to everyone she met. I had always wanted to make a library cache, but when I tried this in my early caching days a traditional cache of Sophy's was already in this parking lot called "The Bookworm" I asked her if she would kindly consider archiving her cache so I could partner with the library on a cache. Sophy kindly replied... Nope... I don't ever archive caches...I take alot of pride in maintaining them well for other cachers to find. I have to admit I was a little miffed at this at first but then I grew to respect her reasoning. I placed my Save The Clock Tower Mystery cache here as a compromise so we could both have a cache in this spot.
Very sadly my dear friend Sophy lost her battle with cancer a few years back...and her cache hides have slowly faded away. Thinking of her I chose to visit the old spot to see if by chance the cache was still there. Low and behold it was! Under 4 inches of leaves and dirt that took many years to pile up...Sophy's Bookworm was there! So in honor of Sophy I refreshed her old container and placed it in the exact spot where she hid all those year back. Perhaps you are a friend of Sophy's like me. My hope is that you think of her when you find this cache...AGAIN. RIP Sophy. & Cache On!
