Kneel More, a popular Geocaching Youtuber, just released a new video today of its Cache Tales time visiting the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum. According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary Geocaching is "a game in which players are given the geographical coordinates of a cache of items which they search for with a GPS device". The museum actually possess one of these caches in its front garden. The museum's volunteer docent Dru, or babrshpdru as shes known to geocaching friends, has placed this cache for anyone to find!

Below is the video by Kneed More, and all of its contents are property and opinions of that account.
