About This Item

The Ugly Pig

So now you ask yourself, why Mozambique. I'll tell you.

My 2-year old son found this pig in a cache, and it is WITHOUT QUESTION the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life. Note its timid expression... its hot Barbie pink toes and nose... its udders... and the bloody tongue in its mouth. This pig is either possessed or just plain evil.

Now a sane person would throw it away. Not me! I want this thing as far as possible from my house --- which, in January 2004, means the Barra90 Cache in Mozambique --- the furthest cache from my house on the planet.

But that doesn't mean you can't give this guy a little scare along the way.

GEOCACHERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO :

Take pictures of The Ugly Pig in front of places that will scare him! (E.G. slaughterhouses, meat packing factories, rows of bacon in the supermarket.) Use your imagination.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
