+sept1c_tank Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Strange tales of an unknown species have surfaced amidst the discussions of geocachers recently. According to one reliable source, “the Waffle Fairy only visits caches in the Southeast…” The same cacher reported that the experience was like believing in Santa again… Quote Link to comment
Howling/Pepper Chef Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I still beleive in SANTA , so does my sixteen year old son!! I wanted to know more aboput this "Waffle Fairy" so I read your logs on the way down to GEOIII. I t sounds like you all had a really fun time!! I just want to know????? Is it true that the Waffle Fairy after He visits you that you can smell in the air Maple Syrup? Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 First: Here is my interpretation: The Waffle Fairies are those who take the gifts of the Waffle Santa and pass them to others. I recently got to play Waffle Fairy (although Mtn-Man was waffle fairy madness in his handing out of waffle gifts). But the Waffle Santa is the real deal! If you were not naughty and instead were nice, he shows up at caches that are hard to find after you have searched for some time. He then uses his magical powers to help you find the cache. Then he gives you many waffle presents to boot! Disbelieve as you will, but I have met him at a cache. So have Mtn-Man and The Leprechauns. I took pictures to prove it. The Geocaching Waffle Santa is not a myth! He exists and you never know when you might find him or his converted waffle fairies who use his gifts to spread good will! Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 no the waffle fairy's the person responsible for when you wake up one day 100lbs heavier. i mean i couldn't be the burgers and beers could it?! blame it on a magic fairy that visits at night..... Quote Link to comment

Well after taking advantage of the Waffle Santa's gifts, I think I gained a few pounds. So moderation when using the gifts is recommended. Quote Link to comment

Carleen, do I understand that you are the/a waffle fairy? You say you can prove it? And you maintain that there really is a waffle santa. You've seen him. Would you mind sharing some photos?

+The Leprechauns Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The story of the Waffle Fairy/Waffle Santa is told in full detail in the May 27th logs on this cache. Here I am, bowing down before the great Waffle Fairy, begging for more presents: And here is the portion of my Waffle Loot that remained after giving away most of the coupons at GeoWoodstock (or using them at Waffle House): Quote Link to comment

+Deliveryguy428 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 You ate Waffle Santa??? (ok yeah logging a 100+ caches after driving 7 hours home today, plus clearing out 429+ e-mails, I am punchy) :-P Did waffle santa ever meet the weird hariy creature down somewhere near JX Fl? Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Very interesting. I'm pretty sure Waffle House originated in my home town of Plainfield. I went to school with the guy who ran it (back in the '60's). I think there must be some kind of link here, since I felt compelled to open this topic. Although the original waffle house is long gone, there is another building there, only a few feet from my house, and yes, there's a geocache (not mine) there. Could you send me one of those coupons (I'd like to check their authenticity)? Quote Link to comment

OK, I know I'm weird and yes, I am hairy, but he met me near Macon GA. We only spread his joy throughout the Jax, FL area. Yep Tank, its a GA thing. I personally go for scattered and covered myself.

+mtn-man Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Now I want pancakes! Ouch! Be careful, words like that could make the Waffle Santa and the Waffle Fairies angry. You don't want that. No waffles for you! Quote Link to comment

+Prairie Dog Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I don't get it. Is there something funny about Waffle Houses? Y'all probably think the Piggly Wiggly and Winn Dixie grocery stores are funny too. Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I don't get it. Is there something funny about Waffle Houses? Y'all probably think the Piggly Wiggly and Winn Dixie grocery stores are funny too. We love Waffle House. There are no Waffle Houses here in Nebraska and so I rarely get my hashbrown fix. We were delighted to receive many Waffle House items and coupons to hand out at GW3. It also made for a fun story. Quote Link to comment
ju66l3r Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The farthest northeast Waffle House is in Delaware... I'm only able to get there from Boston once a month for dinner. Kidding...but really...let's work on this Waffle House...If I can get Krispy Kreme here now, I should be able to get my hash scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, topped, and diced. The closest I can get is IHOP... Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 someone use their influence, when can we expect the waffle fairy/santa to visit england?? maple syrup Quote Link to comment
+VegasCacheHounds Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 My Dad liked to stop at Waffle Houses on road trips for breakfasts. I haven't been in one in years, but now I have an urge to. Funny, every time I see one in my head I hear my dad calling them "Awful House". Just one of his many regular jokes, the type that you knew he was going to say before he said them.

Oh and for the record-I'm partial to scattered, smothered, and covered. Quote Link to comment

A cajun will eat just about anything that won't eat him first. Carleenp had a badger with her this weekend. She carries on cache hunts. You can see I took a picture of the badger while at the Waffle Santa cache. I was sort of hungry, and I hear they taste a lot like owl. You cook an owl up right and them is some good eats.

+sept1c_tank Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Some interesting facts about maple syrup. “The use of maple sugar was regarded as an act of protest during the Civil War in the United States. All of the cane sugar and most of the molasses was raised and produced in the Southern states. During the war and prior to the war, people in the North refused to use cane sugar. Northerners used maple sugar to sweeten their foods. Therefore, using maple sugar was a form of protest against the South.” Interesting that the Waffle fairy/Santa hangs out mainly in the south.

He personally knows of other caching badgers out there and would hate to see you mistakenly eat one. Most badgers ARE cachers as they have an irrepressible urge for shiny objects. And, of course, I've never MET a badger that didn't like waffles! Along the lines of the waffle faerie...has anyone seen the espresso faerie? He leaves a Starbucks gift card (usually as a FTF gift) and then is off like "shot"? It is one of my life goals to meet this particular faerie. Quote Link to comment
