This cache is dedicated to the man who first taught us to
geocache. His name was Catches O'Houlihan. We ran into Catches on
our very first geocache search. He was a bit gruff, and didn't
smell very good, but he sure knew his stuff. After he watched us
for some time trying to figure out this geocaching thing, he yelled
"hey you two, I've seen better searching while looking for lint in
my navel." The man had a way with words! He had told us he was in
Washington State when the whole geocache scene took off. He was the
one who told Dave Elmer to put a can of beans in the very first
geocache! After that is when he developed the 5 Gs of Geocaching!
He said the 5 Gs are:
1. GO
2. GET
3. GRAB
4. GIVE
5. and............ah...........GO!
Sadly and ironically, Catches died at the Army Surplus store in
Nichols when a Delivery truck carrying empty ammo cans hit him in
the drive way. On the up side, we think that's the way he would
have wanted to go anyway. So, this is the good old type of geocache
that Catches would have approved of. Enjoy and think of Catches
when you go find this one.
Will be hard to find in deep snow.
