This toy trove is named for my sweet husband Ken, who is affectionately nicknamed Big Bear. He is the best soulmate and father to our children that I could have asked for. He is always playing with our daughter and making up fun, imaginative stories with her using her stuffed animals. So I thought it was only fitting to place a toy exchange cache in his honor! It is an old school, metal lunchbox with comic book characters printed on it. Inside it is stocked with lots of toys: a dinosaur figurine, red sunglasses, a bracelet that says "cat man," football stickers, soccer ball stickers, pink dog collar, teething toy, fidget spinner, red silver and blue mardi gras beads, two large decorative buttons, keychain flashlight, and many more. Please be sure to completely cover the cache when complete because muggles often pass on this trail. Happy cache hunting!

We had an early appointment that brought us to a neighborhood that we haven't been to recently. We opened the app and spotted this cache across the way. Parked at the 7-11 and walked over. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find today. Coordinates are a little off as other cachers have mentioned, but we found it with no problems.

My grandson wanted to find some geocaches, so today I showed him some I had found and some I hadn't yet.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find and enjoy!

Boo! STF according to log—coords were about 60’ off for me. Met CO by chance as I was looking and she graciously provided a vector! Thanks! SL, #673 for team Torkelson—left more swag in a full cache—Santa yo-yo, candy cane, more! Enjoy and thanks for the cache! Merry Christmas!

FTF. Perfect timing. I was just leaving to go north for a meeting and saw this publish. Quick detour and had the cache in hand. TFTC
