Boxwood's Hutch Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

nonaeroterraqueous: We removed the container and cleaned up the area. Evidence suggests that an offending individual repeatedly returns to this spot and ruins the cache, among other things. Needless to say, I don't think there's any reason to try to keep this one going any longer.

Geocache Description:

The home of the original Boxwood travel bug, TB11W0Y. Also the home of its replacement, TB11QXA, which we released after the first one disappeared for several months. Located in Talbert Regional Park, near the west end of 19th street in Costa Mesa.

Boxwood

...there was a knothole in one of the boards facing him and on the far side he could see a twitching nose.

    "I am Hazel-rah," he said. "I have come to talk to you. Can you understand me?"
    The answer was in slightly strange but perfectly intelligible Lapine. "Yes, we understand you. My name is Boxwood.  Where do you come from?"
    "From the hills. My friends and I live as we please, without men. We eat grass, lie in the sun and sleep underground. How many are you?"
    "Four. Bucks and does."
    "Do you ever come out?"
    "Yes, sometimes. A child takes us out and puts us in a pen on the grass."
    "I have come to tell you about my warren.  We need more rabbits. We want you to run away from the farm and join us."
    "There's a wire door at the back of this hutch," said Boxwood. "Come down there: we can talk more easily."
(Excerpt from Watership Down, by Richard Adams)
 
     This cache is located less than 25 feet from a path to the south. It's not hard to find, really.
