Geocache Description:

The fifth in a series of caches dedicated to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

They tried to see if they could get him some spare parts at one of the booths, and some soothing oil, but Marvin would have none of it.
"I'm all spare parts," he droned.
"Let me be!" he groaned.
"Every part of me," he moaned, "has been replaced at least fifty times... except..." He seemed almost imperceptibly to brighten for a moment. His head bobbed between them with the effort of memory. "Do you remember, the first time you ever met me," he said at last to Arthur, "I had been given the intellect-stretching task of taking you up to the bridge? I mentioned to you that I had this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side? That I had asked for them to be replaced but they never were?"
He left a longish pause before he continued. They carried him on between them, under the baking sun that hardly ever seemed to move, let alone set.
"See if you can guess," said Marvin, when he judged that the pause had become embarrassing enough, "which parts of me were never replaced? Go on, see if you can guess.
"Ouch," he added, "ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch."
-- Douglas Adams from So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

This cache is located at the parking area for the Stuckenhoff Sport Shooters Complex - part of the City of Casper Parks Department. Fittengly for Marvin, even though his cache is in a park it is within sight and just downwind of the Casper Landfill. This is a good CITO site as often trash blows over here from the disposal area.

Don't let that deter you from bringing a camera, however. I think I see at least one antelope here every time I stop by.
