Geocache Description:



The Spotted Elephant is introduced as a resident of the Island of Misfit Toys, a place where unwanted toys live until they can find a good home. After Rudolph, Hermey, and Yukon Cornelius arrive there, the Spotted Elephant is later seen as the toy footman who brings them to their cabin after their meeting with King Moonracer at his castle. In the special's extended ending, after Santa Claus shows up and picks up the Misfit Toys, the Spotted Elephant is the second toy that he drops from his sleigh as a gift to children on Christmas Eve.

The Spotted Elephant reappeared in the 2001 Goodtimes Entertainment-produced sequel, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, where he is abducted from his new home by the Toy Taker. Curiously, unlike in the original special, he is depicted as walking on all four feet like an actual elephant, as opposed to standing on two feet.


The winter series theme this year involves characters from the classic Rankin/Bass Stop-Motion animation TV Specials that first aired in the 60's, 70's, and early 80's.

This is a 2-stage multi with walk in between. If you stand anywhere at the intersection/posted coordinates, you see a few different signs. On the back of one sign is a picture. I'll tell you the sign is definitely NOT an octagon.

If the picture is a Spotted Elephant, go find the cache at N 42 55.926 W 85 45.563.
If the picture is a CCC, go find the cache at N 42 56.098 W 85 45.218.
