GC3B8XM When Roy Met Granny (Unknown Cache) in Wisconsin, United States created by sandlanders with Hayward Cheezehead

This cache has been archived.

sandlanders: Cache is archived, container has been removed. Thanks to all who solved the puzzle and made the find here.

Special thanks go out to krymdog for retrieving the container on this hide when he went to make the find on it today. Although cachers still occasionally visit the companion "Granny" cache here in Sandland, we have more folks around here than "Roy" does that far north of Highway 64, so the hide here in central Wisconsin will be sticking around a little longer. Feel free to visit any of Granny's caches if y'all are ever in the neighborhood. But we will miss Roy...

Some things take on lives of their own...

Granny and Roy are two colorful characters, and they are both very creative in their use of color.
Granny uses yarn and crochets wonderful afghans and lap robes.
Some of her work can be seen at GC249BJ and GC2TK8J.
Roy needs no introduction to folks north of Highway 64.
He is an "artiste" who spreads the purdy colors of the rainbow everywhere he visits.
His favorite colors are green and gold.
He has also been know to place a friendly wager at times. (HA!)
Granny likes British poets and American lit, while Roy prefers whodunnits.
They both love making and solving puzzles.

Then Granny met Roy.

What a grand time they had together! See GC38H14.
They had so much fun that they decided to get together again, this time Up Nort.

Once more they chatted over appetizers of aged cheddar and red herring,
went toe to toe as they played some killer cards (cribbage, anyone?),
and after a meal of alphabet soup, turnovers, and more fromage,
they partook of postprandial java and giant mint chip ice cream cones.
They even kicked up their heels to a little bit of mambo on the dance floor.

And then... Roy and Granny came up with another combined creation to share with everyone.
Roy couldn't wait to see the reactions of all of his friends (heh-heh).
Granny was just glad to head south without having met the Professor or the Witch Doctor!

Can you find the message that Granny and Roy included in their creation below?
And can you use that information to locate where they left a very familiar container for you to find?
