Geocache Description:

This is a rural cache based on Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events Book Five: The Austere Academy

If you enjoy finding caches that involve fun, happy themes, you would be better off throwing your GPS in the outhouse and finding a new hobby than seeking out the caches in this series. This cache is the fifth in "A Series of Unfortunate Caches" that are inspired by Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books. If you are unfortunate enough to have already read the series of books, you will know what we are talking about. This cache is based on The Austere Academy, in which the Baudelaire children's misadventures continue as they are forced to do lots of running and listen to long violin concerts.

We are loading this cache with items that children might enjoy playing with. Please try to stay with this theme as you exchange items. There was little joy in the lives of the Baudelaire children while at the Austere Academy, but perhaps this cache will help some children to be a little happier.

There is no need for bushwhacking, but beware of the poison oak, which you should be able to avoid to reach this cache. The cache container is a 3"x 9" plastic cylinder which is heavily camouflaged.
