Geocache Description:

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.

Pillywiggins – Tiny little springtime faeries who are charged with tending to the wildflowers that grow in the forest at the base of trees. They are winged beings who resemble Pixies, are most active during the spring and early summer, and are very playful. They are a class of trooping faeries who neither dislike humans nor seem very interested in them, and are not known to be pranksters, either. They are simply the attendants of mother nature and enjoy riding on the backs of honeybees from one flower to another.

This is one of eleven Geocaches placed for the 7th Annual Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2010 Picnic. It will be in place from September 11 until mid-December.

The cache is in a 3.5 x 4.5 x 2.0 inch clear plastic Lock & Lock box.

The cache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged to reduce impact on the environment.

This cache is located within Willow Metropark, a part of the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority park system. A Metropark Vehicle Entry Permit is required: Annual Permit $25. Senior Permit $15. Daily Permit $5.
