Geocache Description:

This is a quick drive by log only micro cache on a retractor. Bring your own pen or pencil. Tweezers may come in handy. Please do not remove the container from the tree, the retractor will get it close enough to you.

This cache is the 4th in a series of caches placed in tribute to Bob Ross, the fuzzy haired host of the "Joy of Painting" TV Series, and to all those who paint using his wet-on-wet technique. It isn't fine art but oil painting for the rest of us. If you like this cache then you may also enjoy:

Learning to paint snow on a mountain with the Bob Ross palette knife is probably the most difficult thing to learn in the technique. First the knife must be properly loaded. Using the knife, draw the paint out on the palette as thin as you can. Then, holding the knife perpendicular to the palette, draw the knife across the paint to form a small roll of paint on the edge of the knife. When painting the snow on the mountain, only that roll of paint touches the canvas, the knife does not.
