Food Court

There are so many restaurants nearby! It reminds me of food courts at malls. In this parking lot alone, you can find Chinese, Hawaiian, Mexican, Italian, and American. Within walking distance are many other options--lots of traffic, so be careful crossing the street.

Armand II of Illo

Illo is an island nation off the coast of Pig Latia, far to the east of the Dalmatia Archipelago. It is a land rich in history and culture. The most striking thing about the citizens of Illo is their immense size. Oh, and the fact that they’re all animals.

Would you like to meet someone from Illo? Well, now you’ll have the chance...again!

Armand I visited Houston in 2022 to celebrate the return of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo after the COVID-19 lockdowns. Unfortunately, he soon fell to an attack by denizens of Muggland. However, his successor is here and has determined to make his reign one that will go down in history. Armand II, King of Illo, is "holding court" indefinitely. His royal duties include meeting travelers, sharing stories, posing for pictures, and inspiring countless dinnertime conversations.

PLEASE do not attempt to climb on or even touch King Armand. He’s somewhat skittish of us "small ones" and may jump straight back home to Illo.

To log this find, include in your log a picture of yourself or your group (faces not required) or a personal geocaching item with King Armand d'Illo II in the background. By royal decree, logs without an accompanying photo will be removed.

Cartoony Physics

One of my favorite non-geocaching games is Rovio's Angry Birds. The birds are angry because some bad piggies stole their eggs with the intent to eat them. The player flings birds with different abilities from a slingshot to knock down piggy structures and pop the pigs themselves. My favorite parts are the cartoony physics and antics, but I also enjoy the challenge. The original game, released in 2009, required the player to complete each room with a given number of birds in a given order. It has since evolved to include many options, power-ups, and modes of play and spawned an entire franchise, including sequels, variants, toys, and two feature-length animated movies.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates; however, it would be a good place to set up your slingshot.

Your challenge: fling the below birds in the order given to defeat the piggy and rescue your “egg.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️ to NanoBanana for FTF!
