Geocache Description:


Yet another in my "Spinning a Yarn" Series.

Jay Schmeltzenburg was a the inventor of the tyedye t-shirt. He was a hippy freak who frequented the parks around Kenosha some years ago. A sneaky, mischevious sort of fellow who had a knack of finding just the right spot in the woods where he could hide out and nobody could find him.

His boss had a fit because he was always dissapearing when he was supposed to be making bagel deliveries for the Dinklekumpf Bagel Corporation in Rochester. He was always late and the bagels were therefore, stale.

Mr. Arrtemis Dinklekumpf devised a way for Schmeltzenburg to be on time. He made Jay wear a special t-shirt that was white with a beautiful image of the blue sky emblazened with the words "If you see this guy anywhere except on my crew, please call me, he's out in the woods where he shouldn't be.

Well, one day DinkleKumpf received a phone call from a Mrs. Eleanor Whipple that she saw this funny little man wearing this funny t-shirt with this strange saying on it. He was hiding under a log in Alford Park. He had dyed his t-shirt multiple colors so that he would blend in to the surroundings without being noticed.

Little did Jay know that Mrs. Whipple had staked out that very spot for her own midnight rendevous with her lover. She was heading there to await him when she came upon Schmeltzenburg.

She reported Schmeltzenburg to the Dinklekumpf Bagel Corporation and Jay was fired. Mrs. Whipple, however, loved the tyedyesky shirt so much that she financed his new-found business.

Imagine that - all this just because his tardiness caused some bagels to be stale (oh, that and because this tyedyeskyguy hid in a park that someone had already staked out). Oh, the humanity!

You won't need hints - it's easy to see. It's right out in the open. This is merely a pill bottle in an interesting and yet unremarkable location, hidden in unremarkable way, yet covered by and interestly attached to a remarkable item and interestly uncovered in a remarkable way. Understand?

Watch where you park - the Park Police do like to give tickets if you're naughty - and that my friend is no joke!. 150' of bushwacking through some tall grass.
