Easter Egg

Post by jonathan »

Flipped a rock on the edge of some great habitat, near a residential area. Was quite surprised by what I found under it.

Wait...do you see what I see inside of that egg?

I looked around to try to figure out if I was on hidden camera or something, then realized that Easter was a good 2.5 weeks ago and whoever this egg belonged to had lost it long ago and it was up for the taking.

Profitable flip!

Here's a little bit else I saw on the hike.

Herping money is always appreciated.

Could the Easter Egg filled with candy and money possibly been a geocache? It is not uncommon to run into them while herping.

Don't geocache containers usually have a list of names and dates showing who has been through that area and when?

I've found half-a-dozen or so geocaches while herping. This looked nothing like them.

Let's look at the evidence:

* The container was a plastic Easter egg
* It was found 3 weeks after Easter
* It contained a dollar bill and Easter candy
* It contained no information or trinkets of any kind
* There was no container besides an Easter egg
* It was close to a residential area


Yup, I believe that "geocache" fails Occum's Razor in this case.
