Geocache Description:

Dramblys (pl Drambliai) is a comon Lithuanian name for Elephants and Elephantettes.

You very seldom (if ever) see elephants walking freely on streets of Vilnius or other cities of the country, yet Lithuanians love these animals. They have some folk songs mentioning elephants, like:
"Drambly drambly, tavo ilgas straublys..." featuring the longness of elephant strawness, a fairy tale about an ant and an elephant, many anecdotes etc.
Dramblys is often used to represent a noble, rich or extremely popular person. Like actor James Gandolfini aka Tony Soprano in HBO TV series The Sopranos that Lithuanians went crazy about recently. You can see the elephant sized Gandolfini sculptured by Donatas Jankauskas near where the cache is hidden.

EDIT: Gandolfini is gone long ago. I saw him once in Palanga but have no idea where he resides now.



Enjoy some Indian food while relaxing in a cozy restaurant Balti Drambliai (Polar Elephants) should you experience some hunger.



But most importantly Vilnius geocachers are going to get together for their first micro event January 18, 2009 in the vicinities of drambliai, that is why this place deserved a cache.



Don't rely on your GPSr readings much, trust the hint. The cache is a micro, limited trade, just SL.Bring your own writing equipment.

FTF cracks the lid.
