This is one of four caches in the "Deathly Hallows" series, used to find the coordinates for the fifth and final cache of the series. The trail will bring you approximately within 300' of the cache.

In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," Harry, Ron and Hermione come across a strange symbol, which an eccentric wizard named Xenophilius Lovegood tells them represents the mythical Deathly Hallows. The Hallows are revealed to be three sacred objects: the Resurrection Stone, a stone with the power to bring others back to life; the Elder Wand, an unbeatable wand; and an infallible Invisibility Cloak



After finding the Elder Wand cache, use the code provided within this hidden cache to solve the following puzzle for the final cache in this series:

Deathly Hallows Cache:
N 40 55. (Harry, Ron and Hermione + Invisibility Cloak)
W 074 28.(Resurrection Stone + Elder Wand)

Since this is meant as a child-friendly series of caches, cache contents contain treasures suitable for children. Caution on some climbs during this series should be exercised. There is the possibility of a bear sighting in these woods also, so review the proper etiquette to use if encountering such an animal.
