Geocache Description:

Cache is located at the base of a small tree covered with sticks.

The reference to snakes in the name comes from the time when I found this cache with our then 3 yr old son a few months before I adopted it. He loves Geocaching, and also loves the "Arthur" books by Marc Brown. We had recently been reading one called Arthur's First Sleepover, which involves Arthur having a sleepover with his friends in a tent. One of Arthur's friends brings a rubber snake to the sleepover. When our son opened this cache he said "Papa, is this real rubber snake just like in Arthur book?". He was overjoyed, and said "I'm so happy to finally have this rubber snake". My wife is not a fan of snakes and was not quite as happy when the snake started lying around the house.

This cache was adopted from Team KFWB GPS when they archived their caches in April 2011. Here is the original description for history's sake in classic Team KFWB GPS all caps!

"THIS CACHE IS LOCATED AT THE BASE OF A SMALL DEAD TREE COVERED IN MOSS. THE CACHE ITSELF IS COVERED WITH LEAVES. THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF STUFF IN THIS CACHE. PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO KEEP THE QUALITY OF THE 'GOODS' HIGH. WATCH FOR SLIPPERY ROCKS! HAVE FUN - TEAM KFWB GPS"
