Geocache Description:

This is the 8th in a series of caches located at exits along the 103 highway between Halifax and Bridgewater, inspired by Canada's first geocache at Exit 7. This is also part 2 of the Highway 103 Literary Trilogy.

If you're one of those people that really likes to read the entries in cache log books, this cache is for you.

Since I received positive feedback on my Halifax Literary Trilogy (So the Story Begins..., So the Story Goes..., and Hark! I Hear a Haiku!), I decided to do another literary trilogy as part of the Quick Exit series.

Geo-Nursery Rhymes

We all learned nursery rhymes as children. But the fact is, they are getting terribly outdated. Who knows what a tuffet is anymore? And just try to get a child these days to sit on one eating curds and whey! The lessons they once taught are getting lost in translation. It’s time we update these rhymes so they teach children about the modern things of importance… like geocaching!

For example, what if Jack and Jill were geocachers? Then their verse might go something more like:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
With their geocaching wares.
They thought they were in time
To be First to Find
But Red Fox Raiders had already been there.

This cache is a trading cache, but what you'll be trading is your literary skill. To claim a cache find you must leave in your log entry a nursery rhyme altered to have a geocaching theme. Make sure you retain enough of the original nursery rhyme that people can tell which one it is, and if possible choose a rhyme no one has done yet. Be creative, please keep it G rated (these are kid’s rhymes after all), and have fun!
