Geocache Description:

#2 of the Big 4-0 Challenge celebrating McCallBennett's 40th birthday!


This series of caches is being placed in honor of my wife, McCallBennett, for her 40th birthday. The locations of the caches are significant to one or both of us and relate to our relationship from meeting to over eight years of marriage. Happy birthday, babe!
 

Our first date.

 

McCall asked me to accompany her on the ghost walk tour that was operated by a client of hers at Citysearch. She was trying to boost his business so he wouldn't cancel his listing (it didn't work). This was one of our stops on the tour. The Knickerbocker Hotel has a pretty grisly history and is reportedly haunted by Rudolph Valentino and Marilyn Monroe, neither of whom could be any more lifeless than our tour guide was!

The cache is a narrow mint tin about six inches long. Room for small trinkets, trackables and coins. Please be sure to replace it as found.


It was early in our relationship that I discovered McCall studied sex and gender roles in college. In honor of this, there is a Tinker Bell eraser and an army man for the FTF. Please do your best to keep this cache loaded with stuff. You know, for the kids.


Congratulations to carlosguerrera and w01f for co-FTF!

Huge shout out to BoydChicks and Red Ryder for replacing the cache container after the original was muggled almost immediately!
