Captain Kangaroo Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

sharpbubble: Sadly, this cache has run its course. I’ve been on the fence about it, but I really don’t see another tree that would fit the purpose (not an eyesore, has a branch for hoisting, won’t dump balls into the creek or road and is visible to the residents). Thank you for all the favorites and thanks for all the great jokes & photos. Knock knock...

Geocache Description:

Daytime only! It might be a quick find, but the re-assembly will take you several minutes.

Approach from Sidney Rd.

Do not approach from Stratton Ct or King George Way. Stand RIGHT UNDER IT and pull the cord! Don't forget to smile for the muggles! Please, no SWAG. We don't want injuries.

Please, oh please find this cache in daylight

not in the dark (plus, you'll have a hard time re-assembling it in the dark). This cache is for the muggles! They look forward to seeing you retrieve this cache. For some, it's the highlight of their day! I've obtained permission from the staff and posted notes (reminders, perhaps) about what you're doing out there. The coordinates will get you in the area. The cache should be obvious.

The Captain Kangaroo Show

In the early 70s, we didn't have cable. We had the major networks and of the few kid's shows, this one was one of my favorites. On nearly every show, Moose would ask Captain Kangaroo a knock knock joke. It didn't matter what the joke was; the punch line was always the same! I giggled insanely every time one of these jokes were told. So, before you go find this cache...

Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Moose!
Moose who?
Moose ____ ____ _____!!!!

Pull the rope to see what the punch line is. When you log this cache, please include your favorite knock knock joke for everyone else to enjoy. Because the bucket empties on your head, please don't leave any swag, as I don't want anyone getting injured. Find the small bottle amongst the "punch lines". Bring your own pen.

Most importantly, please re-assemble the cache so the next cacher (and muggles) may enjoy the punch line like you did. Instructions are inside the lid. Notify me if you're having trouble, so that it may be readied for the next cacher. Thanks and happy caching!
