Geocache Description:

This is the sixth in a series of seven caches with a bonus cache if you find them all. All eight caches are placed in Buescher State Park, with the supervision and approval of Park Specialist Cullen Sartor, and with assistance from Park Intern Kathren May. Permits are on file.

The first seven caches are small-sized containers and each relates to a scene from the seven books in the Harry Potter series. Under each lid, you will find part of the coordinates for the final bonus cache. At the final site, a redirector will provide coordinates to the bonus cache. The emphasis here is on the beautiful hike; the hides themselves are relatively straightforward.

This is a 4-mile loop hike from the parking coordinates. NO BIKES are allowed on this trail! Plan on at least 2 hours if you’re going to do the entire series. Make sure to bring plenty of water.

Because this is a Texas State Park, either an annual pass or a day pass is required to hike. The current daily fee is $4 per person age 13 or older.

“The locket!” said Harry loudly. “Hufflepuff’s cup!”

“Yes,” said Dumbledore, smiling, “I would be prepared to bet—perhaps not my other hand—but a couple of fingers, that they become Horcruxes three and four.”
