Geocache Description:


ARTEMIS, the beautiful warrior goddess, lived a solitary life, in harmony with her free and wild spirit. Though also known as the protector of women in childbirth, Artemis herself spurned the attentions of men, and kept the childhood vow of chastity she'd made to her father, slaying with her arrow the noble warrior Orion, the only man or god she ever cared for.

Find Artemis' arrow and quiver in the cool forest, guarded by the wood nymphs and maple trees.

Team El Fartero presents this tribute to the mythological deities of the ancient world. They may make poor role models, but their stories are never dull and will never grow old. Take the journey and discover the Spirits that may still lurk in the moonlit wilderness, or if not there, at your local Cinema chain!

The Olympic Odyssey consists of 12 caches, each individually crafted and stocked in tribute to their divine inspiration. It is the product of many weeks of planning and preparation, and will bring an afternoon of surprise and adventure to the geocacher who seeks them. Ten of them contain a coordinate which will lead you to Mount Olympus, where the gods have prepared a fitting cornocopia to reward your valor and heroism.

Completion of the series will take about 5 hours, and requires 5 miles of hiking, with some climbing and bushwhacking. Start your journey at the posted Parking Coordinates, where you can enjoy a picnic before beginning your quest.
