Geocache Description:



Father Time is the keeper of the passage of time, who lives in a castle located directly below a bright and shining star in the northern skies. Visitors to the castle are required to trek across the sands of time, such as was the case for Rudolph, who was aided in this effort by General Ticker and The Great Quarter Past Five.

One of his duties is to oversee the ending of the old year, and the crowning of the new year every December 31st. An old friend of Santa Claus, he calls upon the younger man to provide assistance when Happy, the baby new year, has gone missing. Unable to join the search himself, he sends Santa's reindeer Rudolph, who has just come back from a night of journeying around the entire world, out to find the wandering Happy.

Father Time also serves as the narrator of the story, and relates the events to the audience as well as the history of time in song to Rudolph. He is voiced by the comedian Red Skeleton, and like other celebrity narrators of Rankin/Bass specials, the character has a resemblance to the voice actor.
