Placed in horor of one of our favorite days; HALLOWEEN!

In honor of Halloween we've placed this cache as our second halloween cache. Our first, in Florida, was eventually muggled after we moved away. We think this one is far better anyway!

Park on Elm or across the street in the Open Space parking lot and take a short walk to where this cache is located. There is heavy tree cover in the area so it may be a PAIN to find without the hint. I used my GPS and google maps to get an exact coordinante, you may just have to search!

*WARNING* Some small children MAY find this cache frightening. If you're familiar with Hamlet, you're looking for Yorick, or rather what's left of Yorick.

I parked across the street, grabbed a couple of caches along the way. And I set off the prairie dog intruder alarm ALL ALONG THE WAY. That's always fun. I admit, I'm not a huge Shakespeare bluff, so I don't know all the minor characters like Yorick. I had to google that to discover what the hint meant. Once I spotted the tree, I had to walk nearly all the way around it before I spotted the spooky cache. It was a bit disheveled and scattered willy-nilly. Maybe an animal got into it. Anyway, after signing the log I put everything back where it should be and put a few small logs on it to keep it in place and well hidden. All is well that ends well.
This is one of the better Halloween themed caches I have found.
Cheers!

Today started as another average day of caching. Average for me.... a frenzy of confusion and aha moments. I started the adventure with @WindAtMyBack by grabbing an FTF. Next up we searched for geocaches with many favorite points. Not my usual thing, but this October Geocaching issued the "You might be a Caching Connoisseur if..." challenge.
This connoisseur cache was perfect. I have a similar container which unfortunately just went missing.
The day ended with Lechugas. If you haven't been there, go. Amazing food in my old hood. TFTC!

Yorick was such a slippery find, had to make sure to keep him extra covered so everyone can struggle as much as we did lol

Searching alone, it took me a while, but I made the find. I'd like to say that Yorick is alive and doing well, but I'll have to settle for just doing well.

Yorick hasn't had much company lately, so he was covered with spider webs and the container was difficult to open, but it should be okay now. He was also about two-thirds exposed, so I provided cover to make the hint more accurate.

Very nicely done cache. A favorite for sure. Tftc.
