Welcome to the Legend of the Blue Pearls cache

Once upon a time there lived a mermaid named Marguerite. Marguerite lived along the seashore sipping margaritas. When the sun dropped below the horizon Marguerite would slip out of her alcove to cast her gaze upon the few muggles that would come out to watch the sunset. Singing sweetly about the silvery moonlight she would beckon to them to join her. For every hapless victim that chose to drink from her glass she bewitched them and turned them into a beautiful blue pearl.

However, one day Marguerite was accidentally harpooned by the coast guard and thus the knowledge of where the blue pearls were kept was lost. Legend has it they exist in a bottle kept in an alcove somewhere in Half Moon Bay. Can you find Marguerite's pearls and release the imprisoned souls of the past? Who did you release?

ABOUT THIS CACHE:
This cache is the final cache in a series of seven caches hidden along the coast trail from southern Half Moon Bay to Pillar Point Harbor. This series was designed with the bicyclist in mind although you can reach them by car and walking at various points. Hybrid, mountain bikes or bikes with sturdy tires are recommended. The trails at the beginning are dirt for about a mile.

My appreciation is given to those of you who do not copy and paste the same log for all these caches :-)



The Beginning<---do this one first if you are planning on riding a bicycle. The complete round trip is about 14 miles. Consider having lunch at Pillar Point which is the half way point for this journey.
Lost Souls
Marguerite's Margaritas
Man Overboard
Fishtrap<---take a hard copy of this cache page with you if you don't have a PDA that displays graphics.

Have fun!
