Geocache Description:



Little Orphan Albert

It was Mark who rescued Albert from the over-crowded shelves of a Winnipeg toy store and sent him to a life of carefree ease in Bellevue. And so, Albert decided to dedicate a bench to Mark. To find Mark's Bench - you need to, first, find four Benchmarks. For those who aren't the least bit interested in logging a few Benchmarks - you can let your mouse do the walking.

A relaxing evening - after a full day of caching!

8/19/08 - IN MEMORIUM . . . It seems the Muggles have committed the ultimate travesty. They've taken Mark's Bench and left its empty shell.
So, to forever "mark" the spot where the best of benches once stood, Albert has placed a bench of his own. Puzzle coords are for original bench location - so cache is now about 40 ft away.
