Pop Goes The WeaselPop Goes The Weasel

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The weasel thought t'was all in fun
Pop goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel.

Teddy the Weasel

Teddy the weasel was a happy weasel but with no place to live. High and low he searched for the perfect home. Some homes were spacious but lacked a view. Other potential homes had the view but were in need of repair.

Then one day a geocacher by the name of FickHump came across the weasel who was looking a little sad. FickHump asked "What's the matter little weasel?" and the weasel responded "I'm looking for a home where I can frolic and play. A place that is both happy and beautiful, but I can't find such as place."

FickHump responded "Why I know just the place for you, a beautiful park with a lake and a gorgeous view of the mountains! Not only that, there are musical concerts, kids playing, and animals to keep you company."

Teddy replied "Please take me to this place as it will make me the happiest weasel in the world!" So FickHump took him there and it was even better than Teddy had imagined. So, Fickhump built Freddy a home overlooking the lake and Freddy was so impressed he asked FickHump if there was anything he could do in return.

FickHump could think of only one thing, "Could I place a geocache with your home so that others can find this beautiful spot?" Freddy happlily agreed and promised to keep an eye on the geocache so that nothing bad would happen to it.

Since then, FickHump has moved on to a perfect place of his own but he left Freddy's home in the care of a geocaching friend who promised to look out for Freddy.

The End

Special thanks goes to Foothills Park & Recreation District and Clement Park Supervisor Tim Sanchez for their support of geocaching in this beautiful park!

Awesome cache! I've had this on my radar for quite a while but I'm rarely in this part of town. And when I am, it's usually with my muggle family and we're not in this part of the park. BUT, my son has started going to school just down the street and I can finally start getting caches over here after I drop him off and before I go to work. This was absolutely on my short list of caches I needed to get.

I remember hearing that it had been removed and was kicking myself for not getting it while it was active. It's been a few years now and I'm glad it's been able to effectively stay in it's new position. Although I've seen some pictures, I still wasn't totally sure what to expect.

I spotted the hiding spot rather quickly though and it took just a couple of seconds to figure out what to do. Excellent construction and a very unique take on this style of hide.

Seems like the perfect spot to keep this active too. I hope it can stay there for many more years!!

Thanks for the hide Ecylram. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.

In Denver for work this week and wanted to get out this evening for some high favorite caches. This was one of the highest/nearest so I figured I’d start here. Took a little poking around but I eventually found out where the cache was and how to get it in my hands. Very well done and definitely deserving of another fave. TFTC!!
