Battle of Olympus #1 - Perseus Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeacherMike: It is with great sadness to report Olympus has fallen. The caching gods were no match for those of Olympus. I went out today to do maintenance on the whole series to find that too many of the cache locations had been compromised by deforestation and other issues. With these caches in here so tight as it was there was no room to adjust them at this time. But no worries. After some rest the caching gods will be back better then ever with a new series for everyone's enjoyment.

Geocache Description:


Persus

This is the start of your great adventure. Perseus is the son of Zeus. His mother was Danae who was locked away in a tower beacuse the oracle of Apollo said Danae's son would kill Acrisius the king. But Zeus came down and made life easier for Acrisius and gave her a son.

Perseus would grow up and have many adventures including the destruction of the Kraken, killing of Medusa, marring Andromeda and more. Before Perseus was killed by Dionysus he did fulfill the prophecy and killed Acrisius. It was an accident but killed him none the less.

Normally you would have Pegasuses to help you along the way but today you will need to be on foot. Pegasuses is not allowed, or bikes, or motorized vehicles. Also you only have until dusk to complete this adventure as the path to Olympus is only open from dawn to dusk. Along the way none of the adventure will take you more then 100 feet of the trail so no need to bushwhack from cache to cache. At each stage there will be partial coordinates to another cache in the series. There are a total of 14 caches. 4 triads, one final and a bonus. So good luck and happy hunting.

This cache is a small lock and lock hidden at the trail head to the Burnham Centennial nature trail. Just be mindful of all the runners and walkers on the trail and at the right time of day there will be plenty of deer to see as well. This cache contains half the coordinates for Battle of Olympus #3 - Athena . You will need these to continue your journey.
