+Two Old Crows Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 A Holiday Geogreeting from Two Old Crows (With all due respect for the original poetry of Clement Clarke Moore) ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the woods, Geocachers were stirring in search of cache goods. Containers were placed with a great deal of care, In hopes that cache seekers soon would be there. The children just wouldn’t stay in their beds, While visions of cache goodies danced in their heads. And Mama in her parka and I in wool shirt, Just found a cache on our long winter’s search. When out of the woods there arose such a sound, We sprang from the cache box in one single bound. Away from the cache site we flew in a flash, Threw open the van door and hid ‘neath the dash. The moon on the hillside all covered with snow, Gave luster of midday that made brambles glow. When what to our screen-weary eyes appeared, But a new Geocacher, complete with white beard. His GPS receiver so accurate and quick, We knew in a moment he must be St. Nick. More rapid than ever the coordinates came, And he cheered and shouted as he played the game: "Now two hundred feet, one-eighty, one-sixty, On one hundred, ninety, eighty and fifty. To the top of the hill, scrambling over big rocks, I dashed away, cached all day; and found a cache box!" He spoke not again but went straight to the loot, Filled his big backpack, and even his boot. He then signed the log and hid the cache well, Laughing, "Ho, Ho, Ho, Geocaching is swell". Then setting new cache coords in his GPS, He turned with a jerk to go look for the next. We heard him exclaim as through woods he went thrashing, Happy Christmas to All and to All, Happy Caching! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Two Old Crows TOC/2005 Quote Link to comment
