Geocache Description:

Located off a creek in the East Fork region. The terrain is easy as long as it hasn't rained much recently. In summer months it is likely to be simplest. The cache is an ammo can.

This is the Fourth in a series of hides that Team Uturnia is doing with a Robert Frost poetry theme. Hopefully all the information you need to locate this microcache can be found in bold type below.

GOING FOR WATER

The well was dry beside the door,

And so we went with pail and can

Across the fields behind the house

To seek the brook if still it ran;

Not loth to have excuse to go,

Because the autumn eve was fair

(Though chill), because the fields were ours,

And by the brook our woods were there.

We ran as if to meet the moon

That slowly dawned behind the trees,

The barren boughs without the leaves,

Without the birds, without the breeze.

But once within the wood, we paused

Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,

Ready to run to hiding new

With laughter when she found us soon.

Each laid on other a staying hand

To listen ere we dared to look,

And in the hush we joined to make

We heard, we knew we heard the brook.

A note as from a single place,

A slender tinkling fall that made

Now drops that floated on the pool

Like pearls, and now a silver blade.
