Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates are at the entrance of the enchanted forest, not the cache itself. Within the text below is the required information to locate the GENERAL area of the cache.

CACHE DIFFICULTY RATING WAS RAISED A HALF A NOTCH BASED ON ALL THE DNFs. The difficulty represents the hide itself, since the puzzle is rather simple. PLEASE ENSURE THE COVER IS CLOSED TIGHT TO PREVENT DAMAGE AGAIN.

Sorceress Melina was inspired by Princes Cora's idea of sharing her dowery but she also learned from the Pirate Deadly Daffodil that treasure needs to be well protected or it will be stolen by ill-wishers so she has hidden her Book of Secrets in an unknown location deeper within the Enchanted Forest of Derry.

The powerful and cunning Sorceress has been following the sagas of The Pirate Deadly Daffodil and Princess Cora she shares as neighbors. From the highest room in the top most tower of castle Fedelas, the sorceress has watched the pirate treasure get plundered despite the fearsome curse and she has seen intrepid souls prove themselves worthy of sharing the princess' dowry.

The sorceress has come to a decision. Her mystical knowledge should be shared with the worthy like the princess' dowrey. On the other hand, people should have a healthy sense of fear and respect before setting out to attain it, as with the pirates treasure. However she has come to the conclusion that neither the princess nor the pirate did enough.

So She issues a challenge to any who think themselves worthy of her magical secrets. Those wishing to find her cache will not be held by the hand and given the numeral location of her most precious knowledge, nor will it be protected by some vague and breakable curse. Those wishing to find her treasure will have to be both clever of mind,to work out the location and brave of heart to get past the sorceress' most faithfull, fearsome, grusome, tenatious, and loyal ogre ISOSCELES.

ISOSCELES was the perfect candidate for the job since he once sailed the seas with the Pirate and even spent time in the castle with the Princess.

From the Sorceress' location he didn't have to pick favorites and who he would be closest to. He can now watch both past employers equally.
