Geocache Description:

See GC1E8Y3 Arethusa Adventure - FINAL for trail description and additional waypoints. Our GeoKids love hiking Arethusa Cirque and they hope this new series of geocaches encourages others to enjoy this area too. NOTE: highway access is closed December 1 to June 15 each year.

In poetry, a stanza is a unit within a larger poem. (The term means "stopping place" in Italian.) In traditional English-language poems, stanzas can be identified and grouped together because they share a rhyme scheme or a fixed number of lines.

This geocache is hidden at the entrance to the third cirque you will encounter while hiking this loop, and provides a good overview of the meadow and a view of Highwood Ridge. It contains the third stanza of the poem “Arethusa Adventure” AND the coordinates for Arethusa Adventure – FINAL.

There is no room for a pencil, so be sure to bring your own. The new container as of 2022 (camouflaged PETling) is hanging about 4 feet off the ground on a tree branch on uphill side facing east. Unscrew the lid and let the FANtastic Logbook slide out. The poem is still missing as of 2024. You may wish to check the spoiler photos before heading out.
