This 2 stage multi is the final cache in the Goldilocks and the Three Bears series in the White Cedar Swamp area.

Stage 1 - 7" x 3" container with a multiple choice question about the unique flora and fauna of cedar swamps with coordinates to follow for each answer. The coordinates for the correct answer are the location of the final cache.

Once upon a time there lived a young lady named Goldilocks who liked to leave the hustle and bustle of the city, the cars and houses behind and hike in the White Cedar Swamp observing its unique flora and fauna. One day while walking in the woods she found a bear and thought, "How interesting, but this bear is too close to civilization to visit again." She vowed to look further into the woods one day, and indeed she did. Deeper and deeper, on and on she hiked until at last, she found another bear. "This bear," she decided, "is much too far to walk to. I will try to find one closer." Then one day while hiking, she found a third bear. "This one," she said, "is just right. This is exactly how far I want to hike to find a bear, but what if I just want to have a peaceful, serene place to meditate? I will need to explore some more." Explore she did and then one day, lo and behold, there it was, right before her eyes, an ideal place to meditate. Excitedly she hurried toward home. "How will I ever find this place again," she wondered. "If I leave an arrow pointing in the right direction, anyone could follow it and this peaceful, serene place could quickly become crowded." As she approached a confusing intersection, suddenly, she saw something very unusual. At that moment she knew exactly what she should do. Near the confusing intersection she left a marker to remind her which way to go. Now only Goldilocks and those people who appreciated the White Cedar Swamp as much as she did would know how to find her secret place. What do you suppose she saw?

The final cache starts with a log book, Indy souvenirs, princess mirror, snow globe kit, jewelry box, duffel bag, calendar mouse pad, bird pen, decorative soap and a jar candle lid.
