About This Item

eerie devil duck

I shall travel and travel until the day I am completely re-invigorated. Sigh ...

I was born at a sunny pond, looking much like most other ducks you may have met in the past: all yellow, horn-free, and quite cute. But then, in my stormy adolescence, I moved to Centralia, PA: the town where the coal fires of hell never stop burning.
Muaaaa ha ha ha haaaa!
Smoke continually hangs in the air, filtering up from underground fires. Homes have caved in due to this constant fire. There used to be a church here somewhere. Streets have been swallowed up or been totally deserted. Vegetation is scorched. Everyone has grown a set of black horns and voted Marilyn Manson as our Homecoming Queen year after year.

Now, look at me .... I don't even like myself very much! I must get out of The Town Before Time, and get far far far from Centralia. I wish to visit places that leave you feeling just great and totally ready for anything the world may throw at you. Places with lots of yummy things to eat, or complimentary feather massages, or special duck baths, or ... well you get my drift. The Falling Zen Waters cache in Florida would be awesome!

Some more background info from the PA Dept of Environmental Protection and from centraliapa.com.

Please do take pictures and upload them. Don't show the numbers on the metal tag, though. They should be known ONLY by cachers who have actually met me in person.

Devil Duckie (DD) didn't make it to the spa in Florida yet but did travel to Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland and visited the country's oldest spa in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.

DD swam in the very cold, spring fed waters of Deep Creek Lake and took a cooling ride on a SeaDoo. DD met black bears Roy (short for Corduroy) and his son and got some pointers on keeping cool. DD stopped at the visitors' center and spotted a brochure for Berkeley Springs. "I've got to go to this spa!"

August 10 found DD at Berkeley Springs, where DD bathed in the same bathtub that George Washington used more than 200 years ago, swam in the Lord Fairfax spring and tasted the healing waters.

DD went to a nearby spa for a relaxing facial (unfortunately from a not-so-good trainee) then went on to a retreat in Cacapon State Park.

Sorry he left Florida but it was too late to turn back. He is resting in a marsh if that makes you feel better. He did look ticked off though.

We found this foul fowl in the "Back Woods" of the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, FL. We'll move him along to more serene location.
