A Geo-Tree Full of Whistles


Geocaching never ceases to amaze me.  Today we set out to find a cache called, "Mondo's Little Secret".  Around where we live, it seems that Mondo (whoever he is) has hidden hundreds of geocaches.  This one suggested that it had found the secret to all Mondo's caches...

Yes, it was right beside a Wal-Mart.  It took me a slow few minutes to make the connection... Mondo must have gotten all his supplies to make those caches from - wait for it - wait to it - ...WAL-MART.

There's a lot of construction going on right where our GPS indicated the cache dedicated to Mondo should be. We walked around the spot picking up the signal and losing it several times.  Then I spotted something different hanging from the branches of what looked like a perfect giant Christmas tree.

Can you see them?  The tree had blue and white whistles hanging like Christmas decorations!  There must have been at least a dozen whistles hanging from black strings.

The "Cache" was also blue and white.  It was a large pill bottle and had goodies like balloons and small toys for kids.  We added three items, a wooden 'Spirit of Sheba" nickel, a star that represents my geo name (Starcatcher55), and one of Jim's blue catseye marbles.

Of course, Jim just had to have - a whistle!

Take Care on the Journey,
