Do you believe that Santa Claus is watching you? Well, if you are in the Columbia area, he
isn't the only one! There is a very
small and very cute amphibian named Sally who is hiding out in several spots
all through SC's capitol city. But don't be afraid, like most Southern Belles,
she is quite friendly and happy to help you along your way.
Though not placed specifically for this multi cache, you will
enjoy following the clues to find Sally at some of the most interesting sites
in and around town. We began our geo
tour after taking pictures for the virtual across the street and were soon able
to find the first clue that Sally had left for us.
We did not see our amphibian tour guide at every clue, so I
can only assume she was practicing her ninja skills (a past time that I, as a
NinjaChipmunk, am also familiar with!) and we felt very honored whenever she
did make an appearance.
After much walking and many unique sites, we were able to
find the cache and the coordinates to the final stage, for which we found would
require a short drive. It took quite a
bit of stealth to obtain the first cache, as this is a VERY busy time of year
and any appearances of creepiness in this spot would draw more attention than
most places. This is where having a team
comes in handy, you can pose in front of a completely confusing sculpture and
pretend to have your picture taken while providing cover for your operative to
retrieve the target. On a side
note...anyone else notice the strange theme of women and goats in this
particular square of town?

Many thanks to the CO for setting up this grand tour and
giving us a chance to discover so many cool and unexpected surprises and
teaching us all a little more about your area! A lot of work was put into this
and it showed!
And thank you to Sally for being so awesome and welcoming us
with a smile!
