The other day I was having a nice soak in the swamp when I overheard some gator-friends talking about this fine guy called Nemo. Here’s what I heard:
Red Alligator: Yeah, ya gotta go see Nemo! Totally awesome!
Blue Alligator: I agree totally. Nemo totally changed my life. I now enjoy the company of goldfish more than ever.
Green Alligator: Fine Ding Nemo was the answer to my prayers… Never enjoyed a finer two hours!
(And then I snuck my snout into the scene to see what this Nemo dude was all about)
Yellow Alligator: Excuse me gator-buds, but who is this Nemo that you speak so highly of?
Blue Alligator: Nemo is a fish!
Yellow Alligator: A fish? He must be some fish.
Red Alligator: Fine Ding Nemo is totally Awesome!
Green Alligator: You must go see it!
Yellow Alligator: An it?
Blue Alligator: Nemo is not an it! He is a fine fish!
Yellow Alligator: How do I find this fine fish?
Red Alligator: You know, you are not so bright Yellow Alligator, despite your brilliant yellow scales. All you have to do is go see Fine Ding Nemo.
Yellow Alligator: Oh yes, I see. I will go seek out the Fine Ding Nemo.
I really hadn’t a clue what they were talking about, but something told me that I must find this Nemo dude. So I decided to hitch a ride on a Hot Tub truck leaving the Spokane County Fair and see if I could find Nemo. The Hot Tub truck had a flat tire enroute to a little German-Russian town called Odessa, so I slipped off the flat bed and landed on an old gravel road. I lay dazed on the road bank, but when I looked at a nearby sign, I was suddenly overcome by a feeling of joy, for here, out of nowhere, I had found the Fine Ding Nemo! What a fine smelling fellow is the Ding.
My new friend Fine Ding Nemo hopped a ride on my back and together we crawled the next two miles to the town of Odessa and had wienerschnitzel and the best German sausages you could ever imagine. I ran into Red Alligator there, and he gave me a ride home. I told him about meeting the Fine Ding Nemo, but all he said was, “Yellow Alligator, I do believe you have had too many Hummel-Bräu Märzen brews. Perhaps we will see a good fish movie someday soon.” I don’t know what he was talking about, but I had a good time with my new buddy Nemo. So now I can put this story to rest, because I found the Fine Ding Nemo, and perhaps you can find him too.
---------------------------
This should be an easy find en route to the great town of Odessa. If you time things right you might get to participate in the annual Deutschesfest (held around the 3rd week of September). There are some great geocaches hidden near Odessa and northwards in the scabland country. So plan your trip accordingly and have a great time in the Eastern Washington Badlands!
