Geocache Description:


Damn Yankee

The difference between Yankee and a Damn Yankee is that a Damn Yankee visits the south and never leaves!

I speak from experience as I am not a "Native Texan".

I am in fact a "Yankee"(Chicago) by birth.

I have been told "Anyone that resides North of I-10 is a Yankee".

Advice For Damn Yankees Moving South

1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.

2. Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean we can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows.

3. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four-wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.

4. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.

5. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive.

6. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"

7. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you either.

8.Northerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their car's windshield that comes from yelling at other drivers.

9. If you are yelling at the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone, directly in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned to drive on a model of vehicle known as John Deere, and this is the proper speed and lane position for the vehicle.

10. If you hear a Texan say, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" Stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say.

This cache is placed in Yankee territory



I happened upon this spot while completing a local poker run. This is a great park with many amenities as well as a small zoo (free) nearby.

This is the only cache that I shall ever place north of I-10.

THE CACHE:

The cache is at the above coordinates.

Count on some thorns!

You are looking for a small size food storage container (no cammo for now...until I make it back out with some at least).

Room for a few small trade items.It is off the beaten path.....but not far.

The anecdotes inserted in this cache page are included for humor. No disrespect is intended nor implied with regard to the citizens of the great state of Texas

GOOD LUCK - BE SAFE - GOD BLESS TEXAS!

FTF gets the southern glory..Congratulations "Muddy Buddies" On The FTF !
