Starry skies Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Skyecat: Sadly the final container for this one seems to go missing every fall likely as this is a popular spot for fisherman.

I have decided to archive this one and free up the area.

Thanks to all who visited and joined my in my maintenance night hikes.

                 Starry Skies

By the light of the moon, under starry skies

Is hidden a treasure for you to seek

In the ancient forest the first man roamed

along the shore of Duffin’s creek

 

To start your quest, choose which way to go

Two bridges in view, one choice to take

One path takes you over, the other goes under

You may need some help on which path to take

 

Look for the towering  Totem to guide you

As he protects those who know what to say

"Do your best", as you are "Always prepared"

This "Challenge" can be met where Totem points the way

 

Your path may be winding, but stay on the trail

The stars will help guide you, and so will your light

A bridge you must cross to keep your feet dry

As you walk through the dark of the night

 

Listen for the sounds of the of the tinkling brook

 keep your eye's on the trail, as night creatures roam

Keep left of the sign of canoehead man

and keep watch for the  one eye'd forest gnome

 

Look for the two sentries guarding the path

As they will help guide you, and show you the way

Now you must venture on rougher terrain

Watch where you step and you will be okay

 

Your journey is concluding, you are almost done

Your success will give you some peace of mind

The stars are around you keeping watch on the night

Expand your search and a cache you will find
