Geocache Description:

Was out with Red-2 doing some maintenance runs on nearby caches, and had an 'extra' cache with me, which I asked her to name. After a moment's thought, the cache was named after a pet at school.

Charlie-the-goldfish is a classroom pet that has reached an iconic status at a nearby school (does your pet have a facebook group?). Both my son and daughter have had Charlie in their classroom, and have interesting memories of this goldfish. Kept the classroom interesting, and no gamecube or x-box required. I remember having a gerbal in my grade-5 classroom (frisky), which gave great joy to us all: especially when he escaped!

This cache contains the following swag:

  • camo cdn flag (from gpcomd)
  • "Go Bike" button
  • Chevy West Keychain
  • mini pink skateboard
  • jumbo paper clip (like in the commercial)
  • 8-ball star
  • golf ball
  • hockey coin
  • mini magnifying glass
  • Stay-Put Goodie Hair Elastics (new in baggies)
  • mini toy simba flashlight

So, enjoy the walk in the area, and don't forget to leave a little behind for the local critters. Hidden just off the trail. Cache container is a standard peanut butter jar, covered in camo tape.

Accessable by Ski, bike, snowshow, or hike! I'd be interested in reading about your classroom pets in your logs.

Enjoy the cache, and a trip down memory lane.
