Geocache Description:

On October 6, 2007 Scoobert celebrated his 3,000th find by completing Scoobert’s Challenge……, accompanied the entire way by size14shoe. Their finish line was Loon Lake Campground, where they were met by “Team Scoobert,” who prepared a delicious hot meal, set up camp, stoked the campfire, and enticed the victors with cupcakes and other treats!


This cache is placed in recognition of the Scoobert’s Challenge effort and celebration: the creative beginnings, awesome hides, and noteworthy finds. The original name for this cache was going to be “9,650” which was the cumulative total of caches found at that moment by Scoobert, size14shoe and the contingent comprising “Team Scoobert.” As the celebration continued, other potential names included “Alcohol and Altitude,” “Cupcake Cache Celebration,” “What Happens in the Van Stays in the Van” (a Scooby Doo T-shirt prize), and "What Happens at Loon Lake stays at Loon Lake" (first annual "Team Scoobert" event?) ... well, it was quite a fun time.

Eventually, Scoobert was dared to try on B.O.S.N.’s pink boots, and since vanilla vodka was being enjoyed by some members of Team Scoobert, the cache name “Vanilla Vodka and Pink Boots” emerged as the clear winner. After all, this was a caching party to celebrate a significant Sierra Nevada milestone (the geographical kind, that is).

No Vanilla Vodka was consumed in the wearing of these pink boots!

So, if you want to drive all over El Dorado County for five caches, hiking 15.8 miles in the process, and in less than 12 hours from start to finish, you’re welcome to wear those pink boots and call this cache anything you want! Until then, feel free to join in the celebration when you next visit Loon Lake.
