Geocache Description:

In the popular children's book "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" by Dav Pilkey, the evil Professor hates his name so much that he DEMANDS that everyone else get a silly name, too. This will be your mission on this cache.

PLEASE!! Keep in mind the idea of trade even or trade up. We try to keep nicer swag in this cache, but it is hard to do when cachers take a $5 flashlight, and leave a 25-cent piece of McCrap. If you don't have a $5 item to leave, then please don't take the $5 item that's in the cache. Also, do NOT leave cash in the cache. Trade items, or trade nothing, please.

After hunting Boobie Girdlebuns in Austin, Texas, my new caching name was Loopy Wafflesniffer! I think I laughed out loud for 3 days and then chuckled quietly for 2 days after that over my new name! I decided to borrow the theme for this cache so everyone could share in the fun.

You will go to two waypoints and then a final destination determining your new name. Use your REAL name for this…. Not your caching name! Follow the instructions at each stop and be sure to write your name down as you go along…you’ll need it at the end. You will also get the coordinates for the next stop at each waypoint.

The above coordinates will take you to the parking area. The parking lot is a small dirt lot at the Howe Farm off of Long Lake Road in Port Orchard. From the parking lot you will need to proceed to Waypoint 1 at N 47° 31.865 W 122° 34.683.

For those of you who haven’t been to the Howe Farm…please note that there are NO bathroom facilities or water on the farm and there are no lights out there so night-time caching will require a flashlight. This is also a huge off-leash dog park.

At waypoint one, which is a decontamination kit (a plastic box about 5 inches long, 3 inches wide and 2 ½ thick) you will find out what your first name will be. Write your new name down and take it with you. You’ll find the waypoint for the next stop at the bottom of the name list.

At waypoint two, which is also a decontamination kit, you will find what the first part of your new last name will be. The waypoint for the last stop on this cache is also at the bottom of the list of names.

At the final cache location you will find an ammo box. Inside the box is quality swag (please trade equal or trade up…no McSwag), the usual log book AND the last list you will need to find out what your new caching name is. Add this final name to the name you found in waypoint 2 to get your new last name.

REQUIRED! When you log your cache on the web site, you MUST include your new name in the on-line log. Please note, that the names you would find at Boobie Girdlebuns or from any on-line name changer will NOT match the name you will get here. The letter to name conversions on this cache were made up specifically for this cache. If your new name is not posted, I will DELETE your log!! You have been warned.

This cache is a short walk (about .5 mile) around Howe Farm, is designed to be kid friendly, fun for all ages and easy to do in any weather. There's no bushwhacking and no slogging through swampy areas although during the rainy season water will pool up in areas.

Wafflesniffers! was inspired by the cache Boobie Girdlebuns by Mrs. Captain Picard in Austin, Texas.

This cache is dedicated to the memory of Jerald Deal.
