Come sit by the fire

Listen close girls and boys

To this tale of the Grinch

That captured our joys.

 

With Cachemas upon us

In this season so cheery.

The Grinch grumbled louder

That he thought it too dreary.

 

With new ones and old ones

And those puzzles galore --

What’s up with these cachers?

They are such a bore!

 

He wondered aloud

If something could happen,

To change all their plans

Or at least might distract them.

 

The Evil Grinch Had taken from Whoville everyChristmass thing,

But he Discovered his sleigh was too heavy to take wing.

He knew he had hide some of the swag,

But where to go with his overstuffed bag..

 

An abandoned stretch of road did he spy,

To this secluded spot did he fly.

 Where he he hid a container full of Whoville swag,

to lighten his stolen goody bag.

Now on Mt Crumpet and his next stop.. 

Find this stash for a clue to the next hop!

 

Pleas hunt this cache with care..

Parking is is easy and really right there..

Watch out for Whovillians when you make the find,

Remember to never leave clues behind!

 

***Safety note.. The cache is NOT reached from Rt 28!
