Geocache Description:

This is a Kid oriented - animal themed cache. There are no paths but the forest in this area seemed fairly safe for young ones.

Once upon a time in a kingdom not so far away, lived a group of four animal friends. Their names were Sally the Squirrel, Rocky the Raccoon, Charlie the Chipmunk and Wanda the Woodpecker. They didn’t like working all day like the other animals, but would love to go exploring instead.

One day a special invitation came to all the forest creatures asking them to come to a party. There was going to be cake and games and even balloons! Everyone in the whole forest gathered for the party except for Sally, Rocky, Charlie and Wanda because, as usual, they were off adventuring and didn’t read the invitation. When all the animals arrived, they were shocked to find that it was a trap! The evil Geomuggle captured them all and locked them in a small jail that he then hid in the woods.

Just as he was locking the jail, our four friends came back from their adventure and saw what he was doing. Wanda flew in close and saw the combination that Geomuggle set on the lock. After the monster left, our four heroes tried for hours to unlock the jail but their hands were too small to turn the dials. What were they going to do????

Suddenly, Rocky remembered that kids sometimes come exploring in these woods with their parents. He overheard them saying they were doing something called GeoCaching! They thought and thought and came up with a plan. Each of them would take one part of the combination and hide in the woods. If some brave child can find all four of them, they will have the whole combination and will be able to free an animal.

Please come help free the forest creatures!

Note to parents: This is an Animal Themed cache. Please only trade animals for animals. The combination lock no longer needs the proper combination. Please play along as I trust you will still visit all my animal friends. To relock it, simply change the combination and then push shut.
