For our neighbor, who will soon no longer be our neighbor Broose.
We are passing a millionith of his kindness on to you by way of
this cache....he saves EVERYTHING and had this rare ammo can just
waiting for a use....at the time he had no idea the joy that could
come from a relic like this....now he will!!
If you have seen the show 'Monk', you will have a good idea of who
Broose is. He can be found with a ruler and a writing implement in
his shirt pocket.
We moved across the street from Mr. and Mrs. Broose and in no time
were enamored to both of them. His quirks and unique ways may be
pesky to some(i.e Mrs. Broose!!!) , however it has endeared him to
us. We fell in love. We even got him involved in some
Geo'ing.
As Broose and "The Blister" will be moving soon to their custom
built dream home, we wanted to place this cache in his backyard as
a memory of him!!!
As you search for this cache, a few Broose reminders:
1. Fireworks are illegal
2. Don't talk to strangers
3. Check the front door like 3, or 4, or even 5 times to make sure
it's locked before you leave
4. Bring a clipboard for any notes you may need to take along the
way
5. If its not right, "Just Start Over"
6. When you are done with each and every cache, wash your
hands....twice!
* A bonus tip to any husband that Broose would want to pass along:
If you forget something in the car and your wife says "It's okay,
I'll go back and get it" Don't let her get it, go yourself...she
really doesn't want to.
We have placed Broose-like helper items in the cache, geogoodies
and a FTF AWARD CERTIFICATE
We may be losing out with this move, but at least "we still have
Digger".

Ode to Broose - a goodbye poem from us to Broose, read if you
like.
The six pack hunk that some mistake for the TV character Monk
Ruler in his pocket, clipboard close by
Considering his dinner time stir-fry
If he hasn't had his noon time snack, he's in duress
But it is not as if he needs to take off his dress
A man with a daily uniform worn for comfort
A perfectionist he is
If he does not have it "in-stock", he does at "HaveNot"
His opinion of a traffic circle is "why not?"
Always time to pick a flower, answer a call at any hour.
Oh how lucky dear friends like Gary, Dave, or Walter are
To be cared for so deeply is a gift few live to receive
Only a General Manager could marry his best friends daughter
He glances out the Western Regional Office to the flora he
adora
Give a "Hello Paul" to the boy....Without looking coy
The frolicking of the squirrels, chickens and birds are an amuser
One glance down and he's looking at the confuser
It may not be a view of the Grand Tetons But the bench to his eyes
is more glorious
The greatest neighbor you are were
