Current Goal

Icahn Karl is the protector of picnic goers all over the world. It is desired to have him in residence at the Hamlin Beach geocache in NY by July 4, 2004 in order for him to watch over The Away Team during their annual 4th of July picnic.

About This Item

Our friends have been hosting an annual 4th of July picnic in Rochester since we graduated college, over 20 years ago. During the early years, we discovered a rubber skull on the front lawn and assumed it was a leftover from a druid ritual held while we slept. In order not to anger the gods (or lack of), we held Icahn Karl sacred for many picnics. As we wore with time, he was replaced with a newer skull - one made of plastic whose eyes would flash when you pressed his spinner handle. Alas, we became neglient and that skull was lost. That year, Charlie didn't attend, Michelle got stung by a wasp, and some of us caught a stomach virus. The wrath upon us for not keeping watch on Icahn Karl. Recently, I found the Eckxs II geocache with an exact replica of Icahn Karl. I haved tagged him as a travel bug, and hope my fellow geocachers can get him to our picnic cache at Hamlin Beach, Rochester NY in time for our next get together.

    Snagged the skull from Ford's Folly. It has already been there - last August. Time to move this one up and out of the area.
