Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com!

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. [b]I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.[/b]

Sincerely,

Geocache Description:

A Knight there was, and that a noble man
Who from the earliest time when he began
To ride forth, love the way of chivalry,
Honor and faith and generosity.
-Geoffrey Chaucer, Translated by Frank Earnest Hill

The Knight represents the highest social class of the nobility. He is chivalrous, a peacemaker (especially when the Reeve and Miller get into it) and is well spoken. The Knight kind of holds everything together, that’s why I chose this particular place to hide this cache.
Knight=C

In "The Cant Tales" the Knight was the only Pilgrim who didn't have some sort of messed up quality or ungodly motive about him. He has the highest social standing, but he is also the kindest, and most modest of them all.

Apparently this one isn't as straightforward as I thought, thus a hint (in the form of a horrendous poem) was left.
Happy Caching!

"The Canterbury Caches"

Geoffrey Chaucer (most famous for writing The Canterbury Tales) is known as “The Father of English Literature” and was the first person to be buried in what is now known as the Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey. In the late 14th century everything was written in Latin, Italian, German and French, but Chaucer, (the amazing rebel that he was) decided that he would write in the language of his people, English. I feel it’s about time Little Rock had some Literature strewn about the city.

The Canterbury Tales was going to consist of 120 tales, but only 28 were written before he died, leaving it unfinished. However it is still one of the most remarkable pieces of literature to date. It has everything in it from the greatest moral tales to the most sexually vulgar, what more could one want?

Set Up
This is set up in the same manner as the AR state parks caches. Each cache has its own feel to it and is a traditional cache, but on the top of each cache there will be a number that you plug into a set of coordinates, to show where the final cache is hidden. Unlike the AR state park department I don’t have enough money to supply geo coins, but I’m also not putting these all over the state and there aren’t 52 of them. However the swag will be more substantial than the every day cache.

These caches are designed and named for their character. Note the location as well.

****Unfortunately I’ve had some severe trouble maintaining the canterbury caches as a multi-cache, so from now on they are going to simply be caches of their own. Sorry for misleading you on this quest.

Congrats to RonWhite on FTF!
