The Prodigal Cache Returns

Sfcchaz put this container out as a replacement for Water Hazard? (GC2FQ4D) back in October 2014.  The container did not like being relegated to the role of a replacement.  He also didn’t like the noise from the planes flying overhead.   He had big dreams.  He was going to be the first lock-n-lock to become a movie star.  The container left GZ and hitchhiked as far as he could.  He wound up in Miami and was able to score a very bit part on the Spanish language soap opera “El Caballo y el Asesino”.

Unfortunately, his big break never came.  Homeless and jobless, the container decided to travel back home and reconnect with Sfcchaz.  Upon hearing of the prodigal cache’s return, Sfcchaz decided he would have nothing to do with that “geo-litter”.  Dejected and lonely, the cache succumbed to his vices.

My son found the sad container, cleaned him up, and decided to give him a purpose.  The container would be a geocache once more and this time he would not be a meager replacement.  He would be a brand new hide.  The cache wouldn’t be near a noisy airport, but near a quiet library.   The container was thrilled.  If you are in the area, stop by and see if you can find him…

Congratulations to TheLoneBaker and TheWoodenRadio for being FTF! I had an error of ~16ft both days I was here to get the coordinates.
