Geocache Description:

The third cache in my series celebrating the release of the 7th Harry Potter book.

They made their way silently through the trees, keeping to the very edge of the forest. Then, as they glimsped the front of Hagrid's house, they heard a knock upon his door. They moved quickly behind a wide oak trunk and peered out from either side... They moved around the edge of the forest, darkness falling thickly around them, until they were hidden behind a clump of trees through which they could make out the Willow.

--Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
--J. K. Rowling, 1999



Harry ended up in the Forbidden Forest again, but this time with Hermione. Here's the twist: they had gone back in time by three hours! Turns out Hermione had a time-turner all this time, trying to get to all of her classes (overacheiver!).

The trick with this cache is to turn your GPSr into a Time-Turner. Switch your GPS to NAD27, and input the coordinates as given. (Make sure you remember how you did it, so you can switch it back to WGS84 when you are finished!) Then, find your way to the cache!

See, isn't time travel easy?

It should be a nice easy hike in, with trails almost the whole way. I heard muggles, but never saw any, and the cache site doesn't offer much in the way of cover, so be discreet.

It's a well stocked cache, but I honestly can't remember if there is an FTF prize or not. I know I threw in an FTF token, but that's all I remember.
