Saturday, October 25th, 2008
At the 2007 Halloween Geocaching Event Cache “In Pursuit of a Repulsive Potion” unsuspecting Geocachers endured the horrifying hunt for repulsive potion ingredients; the treacherous journey through the Cemetery of Chaos and Corruption; and the incessant, cackling of the wild and wacky Witches of Wilberforce only to become the unwitting accomplices to the horrendous, gut wrenching, disembowelment of Professor Hossenfeffer who fell victim to the witches “SPILLING YOUR GUTS” spell. This October 2008 join fellow Geocachers in the search for suitable donor organs and assist a renowned medical team of Cracker-Jack-Doctors as they perform radical reconstructive surgery on Professor Hossenfeffer. This activity does not require an in-depth knowledge of anatomy but you should know your left arm for your right ventricle. Rated “G” this outing is suitable for all ages so kids it’s all right to bring your parents as long as they promise to behave. Dress for the weather (we have yet to have good weather but we’ve always had a good time)Bring flashlights, sterilize your GPS and make sure you sign your Organ Donor card. more...
