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 Dryads – Spirits of vegetation who inhabit trees and fields. They are very protective of their homes and all who dwell therein, especially the plant life. They’re most active during the full moon and meet together in coven-like gatherings called esbats. They are known to live in all trees, though the willow is said to be their favorite. They are usually playful creatures who are rarely seen as more than enchanting wisps of pure light, and seem to welcome human contact.
