Geocache Description:

in frick park in pittsburgh

this park is named after henry clay frick, a serious workaholic who, after being shot repeatedly and stabbed in an assasination attempt, finished his workday bleeding at his desk.

he is perhaps most notorious for taking the expression "you're fired!" more literally than most managers - when his workers went on strike, he hired the pinkerton detective agency's private army to try to stop them, and the ensuing battle cost lives on both sides.

this cache should be easy to find starting from any number of entrances to the park WITHOUT BUSHWACKING. and that is all we are going to say about the location.

there will be many walkers, dogs, and bikers nearby, so PLEASE BE STEALTHY when looking for and extracting the cache.

the cache is a mustard-colored plastic container with a white screw-on lid.

please re-hide the cache in the same way you find it, and be careful not to crush it in the process.

the initial contents are various shells and small trinkets, as well as two travel bugs.
