This mission for this trackable to is to keep moving! This little ducky wants to see many different caches.
The trackable is dedicated to CSchooner who was an extraordinary geocache creator who, as of this writing, has over 17,000 favorite points on caches he placed.
My mom used to live near El Dorado park in Scottsdale, AZ. A nice part of town with many parks, paths, bicycle avenues etc. While visiting her for the holidays, I came across a CSchooner cache and was immediately hooked. He had placed many in this part of town and they were awesome. Gadgets, puzzles, caches with tools etc. He just put so much effort and love into these caches and I had a blast doing them. One time while searching for one, another cacher approached me and asked if I was doing a Duckmeister cache. We had a brief conversation and the man give me Cschooners phone number! He said: 'I'm his friend -- call him if theres a problem with one of his caches!" Strange, for sure, but I saved it in my phone for some reason!
He was covered in the news several times:
Meet the Valley's king of geocaching
Geocaching in Phoenix
Sadly, Al Schoon passed away in late 2020. His brother once said that geocaching is "a pointless hunt for hidden treasures of no intrinsic value using multi-billion-dollar global positioning satellites and technology with a high risk of snake bites and poison ivy." Cschooner caches made the game worth playing! It was wonderful fun and I'm so thankful for all the time and effort he put into it.
RIP Al!
