Geocache Description:


William Penn Pickle Party

or

William Penn Loves Pickles 

This cache is located within the William Penn Park, nearby to the William Penn Park Pickleball court. Many may recognize the face of Penn from the famous Quaker Oats, but may not have known that the man LOVED pickles*. So much so that he invented the sport of pickleball to honor pickles in all of their brine-y glory**. When Penn founded the city of Pennsylvania***, he promptly assigned pickle ball as the city's official sport****.

 


List of corrections and fact checks made by a 3rd party:

* Although William Penn is recognized as the face of Quaker Oats, there is no evidence to suggest he loved pickles.

**William Penn was not the creator of Pickleball

 *** Pennsylvania is a state, not a city. 

**** Pickle Ball is not the official sport of Pennsylvania or any city within. 

⁵ 3rd Party fact checkers have found this portrait to be doctored.


Cache Info:

Cache consists of two containers. One for the log and writing utensils, the other for swag.
This being my first hide, I wanted to make it a good one. Or at least one I would enjoy finding in the wild. I've put a lot of effort into this cache and I hope you enjoy. Special thanks goes to my lovely partner, coolcachew, for helping me with the description formatting.
Congrats to DM&K Cachers for the FTF!
