Geocache Description:

I would like to take you on some short walks in pretty locations I have discovered. This one may take a bit of Mental Strength! SOooo...please read the hints due to jumpy coordinates.

Strength: the state, property, or quality of being physically or mentally strong. (needed by all cachers!)

I am small and weak,
I need strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect all things made
and my ears sharp to hear the voices in the winds.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
taught to my people.
Let me learn the lessons
hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to mankind
with clean hands and honest eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit is without shame.

(translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887)
