Geocache Description:

A camoed 35 mm film canister in a pine tree.

Back in the days when I was taking geography I often heard of how the ancient explorers would write 'here be dragons' on the unexplored edges of their maps. A Wikipedia search lead me to find out that the practice began with a dragon drawn on the east coast of Asia on the Lenox globe, made in the early 1500's, with the Latin words 'HIC SVNT DRACONES'. Following this lead, cartographers would draw sea serpents over unexplored seas, and dragons over unknown lands. In any event, this is all an aside, as the name is only related to the restaurant close by that I sometimes run into, to grab a take out while on the way to work. Have fun.
