Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. Read the fictional story to find the cache. A short hike on a good quality trail to this cache. The trail is often used by horses - and is very muddy, don't wear your best shoes!

Cache Crop was First to Find on January 13th, 2008 congratulations!

Cache is a small Lock and lock. GPS reception was terrible but it's in the obvious place for a cache. No bushwhacking - the cache is just a few feet off the trail. Ran by this spot a few weeks ago and just had to hide a cache here. Enjoy the forest. Thanks!

Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away there lived and Emperor whose greatest quality was his Strength. One day, as the Empress was just having a cup of tea, a stranger arrived in the royal court, a mysterious Magician. He came with tales of a wonderful game called geocaching. The court was intrigued. How did you play the game, could they try, what was this magical thing called a GPS, and where could they get one? All the disruption in the normally quiet court piqued the curiosity of the Fool. All manner of ladies in waiting were swooning over the GPS and the Fool was green with envy at losing their attention to some crazy newcomer and his fancy technology. Needing some wisdom around the sudden uproar in the court he searched out the Hermit, who had also heard of geocaching and spent hours teaching him all he needed to know about waypoints, projections and finding little tupperware boxes in the woods. Armed with this new information he challenged the unsuspecting Magician to a geocaching FTF race. The High Priestess was asked to hide the cache and the Empress checked the coordinates and published the cache. Once everything was to the High Priestess’ satisfaction The Emperor summoned the two competitors, the Fool, who lacked magical powers, was allowed the use of a Chariot and the Magician was allowed his wand and with a madly cheering court looking on the race was begun… who will find the cache first? .
