Geocache Description:


As I read my most favorite poem for the billionth time, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, i was inspired to place a cache in dedication to this poem (hence the color of the cache, which is the color of water..."Water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink...")

What inspired me was the concluding part of the poem...

"O sweeter than the marriage-feast,
'Tis sweeter far to me,
To walk together to the kirk
With a goodly company!

To walk together to the kirk,
And all together pray,
While each to his great Father bends,
Old men, and babes, and loving friends,
And youths and maidens gay!"

lol (Key word='kirk'...Old English for 'church'...=)

oh, and cheers for SurrenderTheBooty for the FTF...rock on man!...and thanx for double checking the coordinates, appreciate it lots man! =)
