Welcome to a Pi-shaped (the number, not the pastry) GeoArt brought to life by the wonderfully friendly and incredibly supportive Geocachers of the Inland Northwest. What began as a simple idea quickly grew, and through the dedication and teamwork of everyone involved, it became a reality.
While the design honors the mathematical constant celebrated by number enthusiasts around the globe, the rest of the world often marks the occasion with circular treats fresh from the oven. So whether you’re raising a toast to 3.141592653589793238462 or enjoying a slice of something sweet, this GeoArt is for you!
The Cussing Pie
Every family has that recipe — the one that tastes heavenly but tests your patience, your skill, and occasionally your vocabulary. This cache honors the legendary “cussing pie,” a dessert so good it’s worth every dramatic sigh and flour-covered meltdown.
Perhaps the crust shrinks like it’s afraid of commitment.
Perhaps it cracks right down the middle like a fault line.
Maybe the filling refuses to set and sloshes like lemon soup.
Maybe the meringue weeps… actual puddles.
Maybe it burns on top while staying raw underneath.
Maybe you drop the whole thing while transferring it to the oven rack.
Or perhaps the dog “helps” by sampling it from the counter.
There may be spilled sugar, over-whipped cream turning to butter, smoke alarms chiming in solidarity, and at least one moment where you question every life decision that led to this pie.
But in the end? It’s still delicious.
Finding this cache should require far fewer kitchen disasters
Good luck, cacher — and may your crust stay golden and your temper stay sweet. 🥧
