About This Item

eerie devil duck

I shall travel and travel until the day I am completely re-invigorated. Sigh ...

I was born at a sunny pond, looking much like most other ducks you may have met in the past: all yellow, horn-free, and quite cute. But then, in my stormy adolescence, I moved to Centralia, PA: the town where the coal fires of hell never stop burning.
Muaaaa ha ha ha haaaa!
Smoke continually hangs in the air, filtering up from underground fires. Homes have caved in due to this constant fire. There used to be a church here somewhere. Streets have been swallowed up or been totally deserted. Vegetation is scorched. Everyone has grown a set of black horns and voted Marilyn Manson as our Homecoming Queen year after year.

Now, look at me .... I don't even like myself very much! I must get out of The Town Before Time, and get far far far from Centralia. I wish to visit places that leave you feeling just great and totally ready for anything the world may throw at you. Places with lots of yummy things to eat, or complimentary feather massages, or special duck baths, or ... well you get my drift. The Falling Zen Waters cache in Florida would be awesome!

Some more background info from the PA Dept of Environmental Protection and from centraliapa.com.

Please do take pictures and upload them. Don't show the numbers on the metal tag, though. They should be known ONLY by cachers who have actually met me in person.

  • Duckie not too happy I think Duckie is glad to finally be out of my backpack, even if her new home for now is under a pile of rocks

Found Ducky in the desert on the lee side of the San Gabriel mountains. Appropriately, alongside a road named "Devils Punchbowl Road". Very pretty, despite the name. We'll try and find some spiritually cleansing spot for Ducky.

We picked up your duckie in a very cool cache (ie, air-conditioned) at Stateline on our way to Vegas. We took it to a place that left us feeling mostly great, although broke - our girls' trip to Vegas - and we'll release it as soon as I can find a cache the right size around here. My son loves rubber duckies so I couldn't pass this one up for him.
