Narcissus & Echo Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Rebel Cruzer: Took advantage of the nice weather this morning and went on a cache maintenance adventure! Both stages were actually in place, but in very bad shape at both ends, so I pulled the containers to make room for something else...

Geocache Description:

This geocache is among a series, placed in and around the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust. With diverse landscapes, maintained trails, and naturally restored plant and wildlife, this 720 acre preserve along the Pennypack Creek is an asylum from the craziness of the daily grind!

This easy, 2 Stage Multi begins on the Creek Rd. Trail. The final is within .2 miles.



One day Narcissus was walking in the woods when a mountain nymph named Echo, spied him, and instantly fell in love. Echo's voice is only able to repeat whatever she hears, and she could not tell Narcissus of her desires. So she followed him. Narcissus sensed he was being stalked and shouted "Who's there?". Echo repeated "Who's there?". She soon revealed herself and attempted to embrace Narcisssus. He stepped away and told her to leave him alone. Echo was heartbroken and ran away crying. She spent the rest of her life hiding in lonely glens until nothing but an echo remained of her. Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, learned of this story and decided to punish Narcissus. She lured him to a pool where he saw his own reflection and fell in love with himself! Unable to capture his reflection, Narcissus stays by the pond until he starves to death. I hope you fare better than these two! Enjoy!
