This cache is dedicated to the mythical creature the Hodag! The container itself has been recycled from one of Greasepot's old puzzle caches "Enema Matt". She asked me CITO the container out of it's old location, and since it was dedicated to a friend of hers I decided to keep the spirit alive and honor COHodag in this cool new spot! Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the Beaver Brook watershed, and keep an eye out for the Hodag! Happy Hunting and BYOP!
Per Wikipedia: The history of the Hodag, which sadly turned out to be a hoax
In 1893, newspapers reported the discovery of a hodag in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. It had "the head of a frog, the grinning face of a giant elephant, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur, and a long tail with spears at the end". The reports were instigated by well-known Wisconsin land surveyor, timber cruiser and prankster Eugene Shepard,[1] who rounded up a group of local people to capture the animal.[2] The group reported that they needed to use dynamite to kill the beast.[3]
A photograph of the remains of the charred beast was released to the media. It was "the fiercest, strangest, most frightening monster ever to set razor sharp claws on the earth. It became extinct after its main food source, all white bulldogs, became scarce in the area."[3]
