Geocache Description:

Regular container in Chapel Hill. Short hike to the hide.

They say foul beings of Old Times still lurk In dark forgotten corners of the world, And Gates still gape to loose, on certain nights, Shapes pent in Hell."

The Watkins family simply bred curious people. The family remained in Chapel Hill long after Charlie was carted off to Arkham Sanitorium and became no-nonsense stalwarts of the town. Charlie's great grandson, Thomas, was equally caught up in lore and mythos of the "Great Ones". Whilst the rebellious black sheep of the family, he remained extremely scholarly and was often caught nose deep in library books, consuming as much as he could of the Lore. He often traveled to the Miskatonic University Library and the Arkham Public Library, institutions his gradfather would visit very regularly decades before him.
