Be gentle with cache, please. I recieved this cache during the Christmas White Elephant gift exchange. A wonderful present. 5/5/13 Original cache is missing. Replaced.
National Jelly Bean Day is April 22nd.

Jelly beans date back to at least the 1860's.

Advertisements promoted sending jelly beans to Union troops fighting in the Civil War. The original candy maker is unknown.

In United States slang in the 1910s and early 1920s a "Jelly bean" or "Jellybean" was a young man who made great efforts to dress very stylishly, presumably to attract women, but had little else to recommend him;

similar to the older terms dandy and fop and the slightly later drugstore cowboy. However, the word was also used as a synonym for pimp. The term was memorialized in the song, "Jelly Bean (He's a Curbstone Cutie)", kept popular through the 1940s by Phil Harris.

It was written by Jimmie Dupre, Sam Rosen, and Joe Verges and published in New Orleans in 1920 by Universal Music Publishers, Inc.

Out with best caching buddy GanderGoose this morning before the game. Game was a disappointment, unlike our caching adventure. Got 21 with no DNFs! Thank you for this placement Imusttravel2000. BTW, I love the black jelly beans!

Went on a spontaneous geocaching adventure with my fine friend, #1 Beefers. We redeemed ourselves with this cache after a search more than 2 years ago that resulted in a DNF. Thanks for the placement, Imusttravel2000!

This one took way more time than expected. I circled this tree probably 10 times, especially relying on the hint, so I paid extra attention to that side. I was set on leaving, and marking this one as DNF. I even returned to my car, but something pulled me back. After reading the comments thoroughly, I got out of my car and decided to take another look, then BAM, there it was!
Thanks for the fun. This lil birdie was cute and it was very rewarding to finally locate it!

Oh the attraction of a souvenir to a geocacher!! Curse you geo marketing people for doing your job so well. Evidently this great adventure has been going on for weeks, but in true form PayMeCache waits until the 23rd hour to call me up and say “let’s do this”….so we did. We knew we wanted to crank it out, so the plan was to hit an area concentrated with easy finds, unfound by both of us. Well we all know about best laid plans….our first couple of hours had their struggles, but the good news is if we weren’t quickly finding geocaches, we were laughing until it hurt and enjoying the adventures the universe was throwing at us. We eventually got our groove on and cranked out 80 or so finds for the day. My one piece of advice when caching just south of the airport….stop to watch the planes fly over. It was an amazing experience and the best part for me was watching the HUGE plane shadows sailing over the fields and right over our heads. TFTC

The things we do for silly souvenirs...

I took a day off to try and bag as many of these souvenirs that I will forget by tomorrow. That being said heh324 joined forces and is chauffeuring us around. The heat is exhausting but we are getting through it one by one.

Found GC2RDP9 - April 22nd~National Jelly Bean Day on July 20, 2018 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, imusttravel2000 for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!

I visited the area a few days ago while waiting for my son and to get a start on the hidden creatures challenge. Thank you for placing this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.
