Geocache Description:


This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

The town of Delia (actually it's just a village) is a special place.  Growing up there, it was obvious that the people there care about Delia, the community, and each other, and are proud to live there. 

Over the years I've come to realize that Delia punches above its weight class.  I don't mean that in the sense that Delia or people from Delia regularly outperform bigger communities (though that has happened).  I mean that in the sense, even despite its small size, it has made an impact on the world and people around it, bigger than its relative size.  

People from Delia share this special bond that comes out so immediately and evidently as soon as they see each other, no matter where or when that happens.  It can happen completely out of the blue anywhere in the world whenever they cross paths with each other.  They have this special unspoken connection that comes from this shared history that unites them instantaneously.

Most of my friends know I grew up in Delia and am happy to talk about my life then.  It's amazing for me to see while I'm in the midst of a conversation and Delia comes up, suddenly how many other random people out there know about Delia, have even been there, or are somehow otherwise related to the village in one way or other.  I ask you - how that is even possible when you consider the population of Delia is only 146 people?  When people explain their connection for Delia, sometimes it seems so innocuous, insignificant, minor but yet memorable to them.

People from Delia must stand out, be memorable to others.  As soon as you meet someone from Delia, it seems you'll always remember that person and where they are from so that whenever Delia just happens to come in a random conversation later, you'll recall that person and their connection to Delia.

I sometimes joke to test the true universality of Delia, people should ask "Are you from Delia?" as an icebreaker whenever they meet someone new.  I'll bet you'll be surprised by some of the responses you get back.

This series of caches honours Delia as it seems like no matter where you are, where you're from, you'll somehow unintentionally or inadvertently cross paths with Delia or someone from Delia.  It's like all roads lead to Delia.  As you complete this series from whatever direction, you'll discover it's happening to you too.

Make sure you stop in and see what Delia is all about.
