Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small lock-n-lock. This requires a GPSr or smartphone with a Wherigo cartridge player (or a fellow cacher willing to share theirs with you!). Sadly, I've had to retire the series, but there are some hides in the series that I enjoyed placing and wanted to keep going. This is one of those hides that survived the cut. NO NIGHT CACHING!

This Wherigo cartridge will take you on a journey through a place that is considered by me to be one of the more beautiful locations in Indianapolis. There are 5 locations to visit on this lovely tour through a place I would consider as close to Rivendell in our city as there is. Not only is it a place of learning, but it’s a place of great beauty as well. If you receive a 16 digit code to unlock the cartridge, you will need to delete the last number that was generated so you only have 15 digits. The link to the cartridge is at the top of the cache page, underneath the difficulty and terrain ratings.

“They saw a valley far below. They could hear the voice of hurrying water in rocky bed at the bottom; the scent of trees was in the air; and there was a light on the valley-side across the water. Bilbo never forgot the way they slithered and slipped in the dusk down the steep zig-zag path into the secret valley of Rivendell. The air grew warmer as they got lower, and the smell of the pine-trees made him drowsy, so that every now and again he nodded and nearly fell off, or bumped his nose on the pony's neck. Their spirits rose as they went down and down. The trees changed to beech and oak, and there was a comfortable feeling in the twilight.” (Tolkien,The Hobbit Ch.3) Rivendell is home to Elrond, one of the 3 most important elves still residing in Middle-earth.

FTF prize is a Sacagawea one dollar coin.

Congrats to M&M fans for FTF!
