Geocache Description:

You will be looking for a Halloween Witch with log sheet and geocaching info. So you will have to B.Y.O.P. The witch is only stabled to the stick so be careful you do not knock her off because I want her to last at least until Halloween.

In the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch, played by actress Margaret Hamilton, was stooped, green-skinned, and dressed entirely in black with a black pointed hat upon her head. This representation of the Wicked Witch has become an archetype for human wickedness.

While this relationship is not mentioned in Baum's books, in the movie, the Witch is the sister of the Wicked Witch of the East, who is killed when Dorothy Gale arrives in Oz. The Witch asks aloud, "Who killed my sister?" (albeit with more calculation than sorrow). As a result, the Wicked Witch of the West's role is made more prominent as she seeks revenge against Dorothy for killing her sister. When Dorothy claims the death was an accident, the Witch of the West replies, "Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents too." It is from this movie that popular culture gets the oft-quoted phrase, "I'll get you, my pretty ... and your little dog too! .
