A cache dedicated to the FIRST Tremors movie (and none of the movies and TV shows that followed).

Cache Description (DO NOT SIT ON THE BED ... that will make sense when you get to the location)

This is a small cache the size of a prescription bottle. There is room inside for some tiny charms to trade into the cachoverse, but not much else. Be sure to put it back exactly as you find it, please. You'll find it blends in pretty well with its surroundings. Don't do anything but feel around the perimeter edges to find this one. Definitely NO crawling about underneath ... that's where the worms are, after all.

About Tremors

If you don't know about Tremors, you must not have had basic cable in the 90s (because it was run over and over and over again and became a staple drinking game in my college years).

Tremors was a silly scholck of a movie starring Kevin Bacon in what had to be a fun role in a creature feature flick. The residents of a tiny desert town called Perfection find themselves stalked by a colony of gigantic underground worms (leftover latex models from the movie Dune, I suppose) that suddenly pop up out of the ground (think Jaws) and eat them.

Why this Cache?

I was biking through this area and it seemed like it was pulled straight from the town of Perfection, which meant it was begging for a cache to celebrate the original film (there were a bunch of sequels and a series ... but lets not talk about them). Speaking of which, the name of the cache comes from a favorite line of mine from the movie. When the group of survivors (what is left of them) is trapped by the worms and forced to run though an open valley where they are certain to be gobbled up, a character refers to the valley as a Smorgasbord for the worms ... which is like a buffet.

Call a CAB because this one is missing ...
