Geocache Description:

Huber Woods' Watership Down Series

El-ahrairah, Prince of All Rabbits' Cache


El-ahrairah "The Prince with a Thousand Enemies" is a folk hero to rabbit-kind. Among the oldest of the animals, he taught the likes of Monkey, Coyote and Anansi and is remembered well in more modern tricksters like Brer Rabbit and Bugs Bunny. When the small group of rabbits led by Hazel, Fiver & Bigwig were forced to flee for their lives across an inhospitable countryside, they looked to El-ahrairah for hope, strength and creative inspiration to get them through to their new home on Watership Down.

Cache is not at the posted coordinates! (But you can park there)

El-ahrairah knows you are seeking him but this is a quest you must undertake without his aid. Visit with other nearby rabbits, where ever they may be hiding, before seeking El-ahrairah himself. But beware The Black Rabbit of Inlé for he watches your every step!

The Hide: Welcome to Huber Woods! Enjoy a 3 mile counter-clockwise loop along the Country Gait trail and through the old Timolat farm. This is a "bonus cache" for the three nearby Rabbit geocaches. Find them and you will find the clues to locate this one. You are looking for a small Lock-n-Lock painted to blend with the environment. You will encounter some ground-level Poison Ivy on your quest but there is none by the cache. You can expect there to be trickery however - this is El-ahrairah you're seeking after all! There is hunting in the area so be sure to wear your blaze-orange in season.


"All the world will be your enemy, Prince With a Thousand Enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first, they must catch you - digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed."
