Geocache Description:


Boy cache

A Series of Unfortunate Caches


Kilroy Boy placed this easy to find hide as an homage to Lemony Snicket. The container is a camo'd plastic jar, 1 quart, hidden inside the grotto. It is filled with toys, a logbook and stashnote. Please replace it carefully to prevent unintentional discovery by muggles.

Conditions at the cache location can change dramatically, depending on the seasons, so you may want to bring a stick or gloves, and a flashlight if searching at dusk or thereafter.

Dear Geocacher,

Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to find this cache, in order which to hide, the Baudelaire siblings encountered an unpleasant amount of dampness as they descended into the depths of despair.

In fact, the horrors they encountered are too numerous to list, and you wouldn't want me even to mention the worst of it, which includes mushrooms, a desperate search for something lost, a mechanical monster, a distressing message from a lost friend, and tap dancing.

As a dedicated cacher who has pledged to create an homage recording the depressing story of the Baudelaires, we must continue to delve deep into the cavernous depths of the orphans' lives. You, on the other hand, may delve into some happier cache in order to keep your eyes and your spirits from being dampened.

With all due respect,
Kilroy Boy
