Geocache Description:

This is the fourth in our Magical Creatures series!  If you've already found Fairy Cache, Gnome Cache and Unicorn Cache, then it should be no surprise to see what type of area in which you'll find yourself.  Made by kids and for all ages, this cache has a story to tell.  However, unlike the other caches, we want you to finish the story for yourself.  


This cache is hidden in a beautiful spot overlooking the agricultural land in Penn Yan of the Finger Lakes area.  Inside the container you'll find a sheet of paper on which is written the story of mermaids.  The cache contains approximately 10 real mermaid tails.  Did you know mermaids shed their tails like children lose teeth?  These tails were given to us by the Mermaid Fairy.  Please, if you've found that the cache only contains one or two more tails, let us know, because we'd like to refill it.  No need to leave swag or prizes yourself; just take one of the tails.  Each one has a label telling you which mermaid lost it. When you've left this cache, we'd love for you to write us your ending to the story.  Or write it down for yourself!  Use your imagination, which is where all magical creatures reside.
