Geocache Description:


Tuskamus the Forsaken

Attention: A strand of barbed wire runs along the base of the stone wall so search with care. I removed a section of wire closest to Tuskamus. 

I hid Tuskamus on the Morgan Land a while back and then forgot all about him. But one night while lying in bed, I suddenly remembered: O Tuskamus, poor forsaken Tuskamus! 

My original theme for this cache was going to be a riff on this famous Beatles lyric:

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob

Egg McCrusty at Doleful Pond is of course the eggman, and I was going to name this geocache G’joob Cache because I’m odd and like confusing people. However, I really like the idea that my chronic forgetfulness lead to inspirational Eureka! moment…so Tuskamus the Forsaken it is! 

Also, The Beatles…meh.

Go find Tuskamus. He'll likely give you an earful about what a jerk I am for forgetting about him. In this narrow respect, he is not entirely wrong. I basically abandoned the guy out there so he has every right to be miffed. 

OK, gotta go. Natasha is also miffed with me too and she's blowing up my inbox. Oh…she's dumping me again...and is getting back with Yuri. What's so great about Yuri besides his atheltic physique, 8 million dollar net worth, and mastery of the arts of love?!

Sigh…seems I’ll have lots more free time for geocaching. Oh wait...an email from my grad school fling Svetlana…hope springs eternal!

No bonus points for guessing what this cache container is attached to. 

Hint #1: Find Conifer FitzPine, 12th Viscount of Needleboroughchesterwick on the Mire. Tuskamus is downhill from the Viscount.

For hint #2, you have to hit the hint.
