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.

    After missing him last night at the fishcache, I got a note this afternoon that he was placed back in the fishcache this afternoon. I stopped by to pick him up because I may be attending a picnic Friday night in Westfield. We may have to rely on Icahn Karl's powers to keep us safe.

    Picked up the bug, and will do my best to see that it takes part in as many picnics as possible. Hopefully it will bring us good luck. Southern Pair

    I met this guy at the event cache but he was too scary for me so I passed him along.
