Geocache Description:


This is the final cache in a small series I loosely based off Monty Python.  While trying work though some issues I was having with a much more complicated cache concept, I came across an item in my cache bag that reminded me of a grail and then the movie.  Had a chuckle then a lightbulb went off. My only quest is just to explore the woods in search of scenic and off the beaten path spots.  

You will need to find the following caches in order to solve the puzzle for the final coordinates.  

Rabbit of Caerbannog
Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh

The puzzles consist of answering three questions at each cache.  The answers will correspond to the final coordinates as follows:

N 39 48.ABC W 076 18.DEF

Some notes on the cache itself.  The location is one I've had my eye on for a long time as it's just a place I really enjoy hiking and wanted to share the journey.  After leaving the Rabbit, the trail will get a little tricky to follow but the woods are very open.  Finding the cache should not be too much of an issue but it is well hidden.  Bring your trekking pole and hiking boots but don't worry, no more flashlights or dirt.  If it is wet, the terrain will be much trickier to navigate.

There are a lot of ways to get out of here as well.  The easiest requires you to head North and upward until you pick up a real trail that will continue until you are back to a road then it's just a matter of more or less following the arrow back to your car.  This is a very easy hike.  You can always go back the way you came too.  This would probably not be considered an easy hike and who wants to double back anyway?  If you would like to extend your journey, make a nice loop, and do some exploring, get back on the loose trail, continue South and cross the stream.  Follow the trail making lefts at the intersections until you are back at the road.   The trail is much more pronounced in this area and easy to follow. This entire area is heavily hunted during the peak seasons.

I hope you enjoy this spot and the quest to get here as much as I did.
