To travel with Baby Liam, the child of that dashing caching couple, Scoot the Frog and Monkeybrad, all the way to GeoWoodstock VIII in Seattle WA and then to take the long way home to Middle Tennessee
A great GW8 Cachekinz Salmon, reminiscent of the great Salmon of Wisdom, which played such an important role in the life of Fionn mac Cumhaill.
According to the story, it was an ordinary salmon that ate the nine hazel nuts that fell into the Well of Wisdom (aka Tobar Segais) from nine hazel trees that surrounded the well. In doing so, the salmon gained all the knowledge in the world. Moreover, the first person to eat of its flesh would, in turn, gain this knowledge.
The poet Finn Eces spent seven years fishing for the salmon. When he finally caught it, he instructed his apprentice, Fionn, to prepare it for him. Fionn burned his thumb when spattered with a drop of the hot fat from the cooking salmon and immediately sucked on it to ease the pain. Unbeknownst to Fionn, all the wisdom had been concentrated into that one drop, and Fionn had just imbibed it all.
When he brought the cooked meal to Finegas, his master saw a fire in the boy's eyes that had not been there before. When asked by Finegas, Fionn first denied that he had eaten of the fish. But when pressed, Fionn admitted his accidental taste. Throughout the rest of his life, Fionn could access this font of knowledge merely by biting his thumb.
With any luck this salmon will help Liam find a little wisdom along the road of life.
