TO UNLOCK: 1632

drek•ker noun. A completely made up word based on a combination of the Old Norse words a) "drekka," which means to drink b) "drykkr," which means draught drink and c) "drakkar," the french name for the feared dragon-headed longships that ruled the rivers and seas of Europe during the Viking Age; and today, handcrafted beer made in small batches by the very people who made up the word "drekker."

Specials thanks to my friends, Barb "Dusty" Urness, the artist known as Hideus, and Larry at P2 Industries for the help in creating this cache. I am so grateful for the willingness of my community to collaborate and support projects like this one with time, talent and money.

NOTE: This cache contains a bunch of awesome swag and an unactivated TB for the FTF. Skål, and happy caching!
