Geocache Description:

Metropark Geocaching Adventure 2010

A Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2010 Picnic Cache

In years long gone, too many for the almanac or calendar to tell of, or for clocks and watches to measure, millions of good fairies came down from the sun and went into the earth. There, they changed themselves into roots and leaves, and became trees. There were many kinds of these, as they covered the earth. Today, many fairies still inhabit in the woods, using their magical powers and mischievous ways to protect their ancestors and all of nature's plants and creatures.

The Moss Maidens – These graceful and beautiful faeries resemble humans with large butterfly wings attached to their agile and supple bodies. Hence their other names of Monarchs of the Forest, Butterfly Faeries, and Flying Leaves. They are very shy of humans so they tend to hide in moss and in areas of dense foliage, making them hard to find in the wild. They are given to changes of interest and attitude according to their whims and passing fancies, but are good luck to have around. They are most easily contacted in dense woodlands during the summer. Perhaps by making friendly conversation towards them, you can draw them to you. They’ve never been known to assist in any magickal doing, but if they come to trust you anything is possible.
