A new treasure down an old path.
The Beautiful Hawkline Sisters are the antiheroines in my favorite
Gothic Western. Yes, I've actually read more than one! The sisters
were twins, or at least indistinguisable, and this was complicated
by the fact that they kept changing appearence and personality. Hmm
just thinking about them wants to make me read this book again.
Anyway, the coordinates above are not for the cache. They are for
what could be the newest morph of the Beautiful Hawkline Sisters.
When you are standing by Magic Child and her arboreal sibling you
will be very close to the cache site. In fact, I bet you'll be
looking right at it. This cache is a very easy one. Nothing to
figure out. No research to do. Muggles are very unlikely. Enjoy the
fun but PLEASE rehide the cache exactly as you find it. Do not take
it upon yourself to make the cache a little easier for the next
guy. If you do I'm going to put Shepp on your trail! Also, please
watch where you walk and be respectful of the forest. This cache
has some pretty good stuff in it for the first finders. Here's a
list:
Eleemosynary Travel Bug
JEEP Travel Bug
Touch Screen Data Organizer
Technu
Meditation Tape
Wet Ones
$1,000,000 Bill
1 AAA battery
2 AA batteries
2 Betty Boop Marbles
Snapshots for MITW and Queenfish only!!
Camera to take your Picture; Please leave it in the cache.
I don't think you'll get your winning essay for the Jeep contest
out of this cache but you might get a nice hike. I recommend
finishing the loop! Thanks for the fun!

Out caching with my good friend WV_Rhino. We finally got a day off, and decided to head to the Forest and do a little caching. This was our first find of the day. Arrived at GZ and made the quick find. It's a whole lot easier when the foliage is off. Great cache to start the day off with. T: nothing and L: an adopt a highway patch. Thanks for the hide!!

Found this one today with Megawatt. This was our first of three finds today in Kanawha State Forrest. Nice trail to the cache. Gets a little challenging at times, but we had no problem. TFTC TNLN

It was a humid but not overly hot August day as we set out for our 5th cache and 5th up hill climb in KSF with WVAngler. The heat slowed us down considerably when combined with the earlier miles today but we trudged onward and upward. Made a big loop using both trails and enjoyed the many rock formations when we finally reached the ridge and began the hike down. The hike out was remarkably shorter or so it seemed, but we were on a quest for State park miles also so we didn't care that the hike was possibly longer than it needed to be. Not familiar with the story line so we didn't get the clue but we made the find without being spotted by a single muggle. Sadly the $1,000,000 bill was gone so we came away with nothing.

Well, in a tale of two sisters with morphing personalities, I was sure that the literary analogy here was referring to the difference between Wildcat Ridge Trail and Polly Hollow Trail. We took the deceptive sister, but in the end she proved to be the more scenic trail than the fast route. Really enjoyed this day capping hike on our fifth and last cache of the day. Had a great time hiking with PilotJ and Crew today as always. Also got to add a chunk of miles to my WVDNR Hiking Program card towards my hiking stick which is always a plus. Never really did figure out the literary hints and 'twins' deal. I guess I'm too literal to understand.

We took the kids up today and found this one pretty easy. I finally broke down and bought a Garmin, that performed great. I had my two year old daughter strapped to my back and if you have been there it definitaly was a excersise. Had lots of fun the kids took a trinket each and left some magnet rocks, toy and flower seed packets.
