+Team GeoCan Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Believe those who are seeking the cache. Doubt those who find it. If the Journey is the prize, then arrival is the anti-climax. Seek not, lest ye find. What light through yonder meadow breaks? Tis the cache, and my TBs are gone. Trouble not the seeker, for his eyes lie afar. Get me a Shrubbery! He seeks a sip from the Holy Grayle, and yet he drinks deeply of virtue. (Lance du Lac) What seek you? Knowledge? Tell me of your journey. He sought after treasures, he found them within himself. Would you ask a cat to say his name? Would you listen if he did? Could you catch him at his game? A cat's secrets are well hid. All will come, a part of the game Each piece a puzzle, and all the same. Lead me on o'faerie light, bright yet elusive you call me, I go. You can not hide what is found You can not put the sun in your pocket. For the secrets kept inside The box was opened, Pandora wept. Through swamp and mud all day he had struggled alas! alack! The cache has been Muggled!!! Eureka! I have Found it. OOPs it's a sewer pipe. Trash-out, EVERYtime "And I asked myself, 'Why is he sprinkling dirt on his GPSr?'
