Geocache Description:

NOTE: The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates!

You are looking for The Prince of Floos - - The Prince prefers seclusion, so he will not be found near other Floos. But have no fear - he's only 0.457 myriameters away from the Floo power source.

Welcome to the Floo Network!
floo, aka flue; Eng. originally meaning "chimney", present day it means any duct for allowing heat or hot gases to escape from a heating device. Most floos are sitting in plain view but go unnoticed.

From the Harry Potter chronicles The Floo Network is made up of various fireplaces all over Britain. When Floo Powder is thrown into a fireplace that is connected to the network, the fire will burn a brilliant no bushwhacking! green and assume a state that allows a witch or wizard to enter the fire without being burned, at which point he or she will state the name of another Floo Network location and then be connected to that location in a spinning rush of emerald green flames. Ironically, campfires are prohibited in all floos.

It is important to state the name of the intended destination very clearly so as to avoid being connected to the wrong location, and it is also important to keep one's elbows tucked in. The Floo Network's function, in fact, is something similar in principle to the use of a Muggle telephone; giving an incorrect destination is like dialing a wrong number ... and, of course, all of this information has nothing to do with finding a Floo Cache! As with all Floos, they are ivy-free and no bushwhacking is required. More about the Harry Potter's Floo Network.

If you like puzzle caches, you might want to try The Prince of Floos [GC1MV5F] puzzle cache which can be solved by one of two methods.  The first requires some research and mapping skills.  The second requires that you visit some of the Floos (in one way or another) to obtain the information required to solve the correct coordinates.  Not as difficult as you may think, but there's a reason it's a 4 difficulty.


TO FIND THE PRINCE OF FLOOS

If you're familiar with Floos, you’re halfway there
If you have no clue, you might need a prayer

To grab the Prince, finding Floos aren’t needed
Their locations though can't go unheeded

At Burrows junction and the Diagon hide
Where the Weasley and Borgin Floos collide

A source of Sheer Power that the Floos rely
Of which this power supply’s clearly North nearby

Coordinates you’ll follow for the next transition
Reside on this monument’s North facing position

There’s no need to exit your auto-mobile
The numbers are visible from behind the wheel

This ultimate location is where you’ll seek
The little Prince of Floos, of which we speak

You’ll find this lad nothing like the others
He desires true power unlike his brothers

~ ~ ~

If this is too much for you and it's all a blur
Other ways exist to Sheer Power if you prefer...

'In one way or another', visit each of the Floos
and you'll find the coords there you should choose
