Speak: The Furry Moist Avenger
This cache is in the series I'm creating in honor of my favorite
cartoon, "The Tick". Because this one is in the Bog Garden, I named
it "Speak: The Furry Moist Avenger" because the Tick's faithful pet
was discovered in a Mexican jungle/rain forest.
Speak is a capybara who becomes The Tick's pet. The first time
they met, the Tick had fallen out of a plane, thousands of feet in
the air, and crashed, head first, into a tree trunk. The Tick was
delirious from the impact, imagining that this "dog" was talking to
him (he spoke very articulately... in a fancy British accent, of
course), which is why the Tick gave him the name, "Speak".
The Tick is a little disappointed when he finds out that Speak
is not a dog (and that he can't talk), but feels better when the
vet tells him that Speak is a capybara, the world's largest rodent!
The Tick then begins to try to train Speak to be a crime-fighting
super-pet, but all Speak usually manages to do is drool and shed
large clumps of fur due to his mange.
The Cache
Be sure to stop by and get Sir Fenwick's "Bog
Garden" cache which is in the same garden. The view at his
location is great, especially if you like waterfowl.
Please respect the plants in the area and there should be no
need to disturb them to get the cache. Since there are so many
possible hiding spots, I've rated this a 2.5 difficulty.
It took me some attempts before I felt good about the
coordinates. Please post if you find ones that are better.
For cachers with strollers, if you had the off-road kind
with the larger tires, I think you'd be fine here. A normal
stroller probably wouldn't be too bad, but I didn't look at the
trail with that in mind last time I was there.
Other Caches in this series...
Note: Currently, the cache says, "Sewer Urchin" on it,
because I changed the name after I hid the cache yesterday. I think
this name is more appropriate, and I'll change the name on the
physical cache very soon.
