There is one local cacher who always seems to go above and beyond
with the web work on his cache listings. One of the best listings I
have seen was done by this cacher, but placed in California.
Because of that, most in Missouri and Kansas have probably not seen
it. I thought I would show it off by placing a tribute cache here
in Grandview. The desert theme may not fit here as much as there,
but one can appreciate the cache page just the same.

Slaughter of the gods cache can be seen by clicking here.
A long time ago… or maybe not so long
ago…, in a land
far far away… or maybe not so far away…, arose
the
gods.
Hundreds of gods assembled to do battle with those cachers
who
would rise to the challenge. From Abeona to Zisa, from Ra to
Kaluannuunohonionio, they were plentiful and covered miles of
land
beyond what even the Groundspeak Map Ap could see.
The gods had no fear (for they left every one of their phobias
in
Nevada). They took camouflaged cover in powerful
fortifications
thought unassailable. Still it was not long before the cachers
came
to do battle with the gods.
Many cachers came without high clearance and quickly found the
gods
had bunkered in terrain rugged, jagged, and high enough to
avoid
confrontation with them. But, soon cachers with clearance began
to
arrive.
Some, equipped directly out of the great ancient city of
Toledo,
with vehicles driven up Willy’s Parkway itself, arrived
in
TJs and LJs.
The gods trembled, but they did not retreat… for they had
an
unexpected secret power at their disposal… the power
of
minty fresh breath!
This created a panic among many cachers. But a brave few
responded
to the challenge. They did not back down. They responded the
only
way they knew. With bravery. With cunning. With…
needle-nose
pliers!
For many days, weeks even, the cachers assaulted the
entrenchments
of the gods. They struck blow after blow after blow. Some
gods
disappeared and then reappeared. Cachers suffered cut tires
and
breakdowns. There was chaos in the desert.
This was a difficult and harrowing fight as even the caching
worlds
best and brightest came and assaulted the gods through
sleepless
nights. The battle raged on and on.
And then… one day… all fell quiet in the
desert.
There were no gods. There were no cachers. There were just
the
memories. Or were they just dreams? Were the gods ever here
at
all?
