Geocache Description:

This cache will be super easy once you complete Heckle and Jeckle! The coordinates above are not the cache location!

Magpie Nest

This cache is dedicated to one of my favorite cartoon pairs.

Some of you may be old enough to remember these magpies and their exploits, and the rest of us were exposed to them through reruns and

films from the budget basket at the local department store.

There are three caches in this series...

1.) Heckle

2.) Jeckle

3.) Magpie Nest

The first two caches are straight forward caches. The third cache (Magpie Nest) requires coordinates that are gained from doing the

Heckle and Jeckle caches.

To find this cache all that is needed is to walk down the trail with some minor bushwhacking at the end.

Be warned, the cache maybe trickier than it seems out of respect for the namesakes of the caches.

Heckle and Jeckle was a theatrical cartoon series created by Paul Terry, and released by his own studio, Terrytoons. The characters were a pair of identical magpies who calmly outwitted their foes in the manner of Bugs Bunny, while maintaining a mischievous streak remeniscent of Woody Woodpecker.

One magpie spoke with a British accent, while the other spoke with a Brooklyn dialect, although it is uncertain precisely which character was which. Some sources assert that Jeckle was the British one, perhaps by association with the British surname "Jekyll", coupled with the assumption that a resident of Brooklyn might be more likely to "heckle" someone. Others say they were just the opposite. Both characters were voiced by Dayton Allen, and since they never addressed each other by name, there is no apparent resolution to the question of which was which.

The first Heckle and Jeckle cartoon premiered in 1946, the last in 1966. In Filmation's Mighty Mouse series in their own segment, both voices of Heckle and Jeckle were done by Frank Welker.

Heckle and Jeckle had their own comic book title for several years.
