In the Homestar Runner cartoons, Strong Sad is the brother of Strong Bad and Strong Mad. Strong Sad's brothers are quite mean to him, and they are always picking on him and beating him up. Strong Sad is a gentle soul who only wants a friend to talk to and someone to listen to him. He loves to play games, especially board games, so we thought that hiding Strong Sad's cache close by to this amusement park would be most fitting. The park where the cache is located is a place that kids and grown-ups alike would enjoy. There is a great variety of fun games and rides that the whole family can enjoy, including minature golf, bumper boats, and race cars. After finding the cache, plan to spend some time at this fun amusement park with friends and family. We think this would definitly be a place that Strong Sad would like to hang out, and who knows, maybe he'd even shed a tiny smile while hanging out at this place.
Since Strong Sad likes games, inside the cache, you will find a travel Yatzee game, a travel Connect 4 game, a Mr. Potato Head Go Fish card game, a deck of cards, a pair of dice, and a log book with a number for the Homestar Runner cache. Please bring game like items to trade that you feel Strong Sad would enjoy.
This park is very busy at times and a popular hang out, so please be cautious when searching for the cache. Also, please re-hide the cache well and make sure it is covered up so the cache does not fall into the hands of devious cache destroyers. Now on to the questions!
