🖖 Cache Long & Prosper: A Tribute (Cemetery)

Cache, the tribute placement,
These are the adventures of the cacher Eric1701,
His premium mission:
To explore strange graveyards,
To seek out new hides
And new gadget-style caches,
To boldy cache where no one has cached before...

This is a tribute cache placed in honor of Eric1701. Please allow him to claim FTF.

I first met Eric at a Mystery at the Museum event in the summer of 2019. After the event, he joined Robin_1 and me on a run at the Baytown Geotour. Since then, we’ve become fast friends, geocaching together often and having lunch as part of Club UFO once a week. When the three of us are caching as a team, we log as REM1701.

Eric’s first find was “Great Aunt Alice” (GC8471H) on 6/11/2019. His first FTF was at “FTF Spiders, Skeeters, Swamps, and Thorns” (GC8B97M), where the spiders have names and the vegetation includes “demon-thorns straight from the pits of cacher hell.” Eric loves cemeteries; his first hide is no exception: “Nurse Foster (Cemetery)” (GC8AXP9). He’s also adopted several of bubberdad’s hides.

Anyone who meets Eric is quickly aware of two things: (1) he doesn’t hold back when sharing his opinions, and (2) he loves Star Trek (just see one of several pathtags he’s created).

He’s an outstanding friend and a great geocacher!

SPECIAL NOTE: When closing the container, please don’t overtighten it. The next finder may not be able to open it. Just make sure the bottom doesn’t drop out before you leave. One or two “clicks” should be sufficient.

ANOTHER SPECIAL NOTE: Special thanks to myzjyph for printing this unique container. Please don’t post spoiler photos of the container.

AN ANOTHER SPECIAL NOTE: The cemetery gates close daily at 7:00 PM. A sign warns that anyone inside the gate after 7:00 PM is trespassing.
