Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Series that includes 8 Tradition caches named after Alice and the characters surrounding her in the illustration below.

The Queen of Hearts is a character from the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. She is a foul-tempered monarch, who is quick to decree death sentences at the slightest offense. Her most famous line, one which she repeats often, is "Off with their heads!" One of the Queen's hobbies - besides ordering executions - is croquet, however it is Wonderland croquet, where the balls are live hedgehogs and the mallets are flamingoes. This is presumably with the aim that the birds' blunt beaks should strike, but, as Alice observes, it is complicated by the fact that they keep looking back up at the players- as well as the hedgehogs' tendency to scuttle away without waiting to be hit. The Queen's soldiers act as the arches (or hoops) on the croquet grounds. She is often confused with the Red Queen from the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, although the two are very different.
