Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates, although they are a good place to park. There is a lot of muggle activity at times here, since this is by a Soccer Field as well as a Frisbee Golf course. Level terrain, and no bushwacking until the end. Winter-friendly to up to few inches of snow.

The semi-barbaric King of an ancient land utilized an unusual form of administering justice for offenders in his kingdom. The offender would be placed in an arena where his only way out would be to go through one of two doors. Behind one door was a beautiful woman hand-picked by the king and behind the other was a fierce tiger. The offender was then asked to pick one of the doors, without knowing what was behind it. If he picked the door with the woman behind it, then he was declared innocent but was also required to marry the woman, regardless of previous marital status. If he picked the door with the tiger behind it, though, then he was deemed guilty and the tiger would rip him to pieces.

One day the king found that his daughter, the princess, had taken a lover far beneath her station. The king could not allow this and so he threw the offender in prison and set a date for his trial in the arena. On the day of his trial the suitor looked to the princess for some indication of which door to pick. The princess did, in fact, know which door concealed the woman and which one the tiger, but was faced with a conundrum - if she indicated the door with the tiger, then the man she loved would be killed on the spot; however, if she indicated the door with the lady, her lover would be forced to marry another woman, a woman that the princess deeply hated and believed her lover has flirted with. Finally she did indicate a door, which the suitor then opened.

Your mission is to decide which cache to go for:Lady or Tiger, as one of them has the coordinates to this cache, while the other does not. Either of them is still a logable find. Go out there and have fun, but stay off the soccer field during games, and watch out for frisbees.
