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.

Devil make friends with a very large rattle snake that almost got me!! It was right by the cache. After I "recover" from the scare, I'll take some pix and then move him along.

Picked up Devil Duck, with the intent to take him south. Now that I'm back online, I know there is a new goal. I cannot help with the meetting of the other duck wanderer, but I can easy and refresh his soul in the cool mountains of New Mexico.

Devil Duckie enjoyed his time in the mountains and after he rested on our porch he was ready to move on. We said good-by in beautiful Eldorado Springs. Yes, it is a mining town but bares no resemblance to where he came from. Quaint victorian houses, rugged mountain terrain (we took him for a drive on "Oh My God Road"), and lots of outdoor activities to keep him busy. He is currently perched in a lovely spot above Clear Creek where he can watch the river rafters go by.

Picked him up at Spouting Horn in Kauai, he seemed ready to move on. I'm sure he enjoyed the island as much as we did. He is currently resting in our mountain home in the Colorado Rockies. We will send him out into the world again soon. He seems to be enjoying the mountain views after all that time at the ocean.
