A series of caches dedicated to the lesser known Looney
Tunes characters.
Most of us grew up watching Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird and
the rest of the characters on Saturday mornings, but how many of us
can still remember the rest of the crew. The ones that got some on
camera exposure, but were never the stars of the show.
I can remember most of them, How will you do?
All caches in the series are a combination of small, micros
or nano containers placed to be winter friendly. The series is
meant to be fun for the young and/or young at heart.
Hippety Hopper is a young kangaroo cartoon character in the Warner
Bros. Looney Tunes series of cartoons. Robert McKimson introduced
Hippety Hopper in Hop, Look and Listen (1948), which established
the pattern for future Hippety Hopper cartoons. [edit] History
Hippety Hopper cartoons have a typical pattern: Hopper escapes from
a zoo, circus, etc., and is mistaken for a giant mouse by Sylvester
the cat. Sylvester tries to capture and eat his "prey", but the
innocent and infantile Hippety mistakes Sylvester's predations for
a game of rough-housing. Sylvester is repeatedly punched, kicked,
juggled, spun, and pounced, but each failure only strengthens his
desire to have the "mouse" for lunch. Hippety Hopper returns in
McKimson's Pop 'Im Pop! (1950), in which proud papa Sylvester
boasts of his mousing skills to his son, Sylvester Jr. In Cats
A-Weigh! (1953), Sylvester Cat accepts a position as mouse-catcher
on a ship. He encounters Hippety Hopper being shipped from
Australia. Sylvester mistakes Hippety Hopper once again for a giant
mouse, and the baby kangaroo promptly beats the cat soundly. Junior
is mortified, but the true victim is Sylvester, humiliated by a
mere "mouse" in front of his own son.
All caches are hidden on a service road that parallels
highway 11. Do not attempt these caches from the highway. Safety
First.
