Harry Potter and the Second Hidden Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Carlfan99: Moved this one to a nicer spot about five miles away. The ants here do not seem pleased with the caching activity, and their bite stings! Thanks to all who came. The new one is GC5RC7D, which is at the beginning of a gorgeous hike!

Geocache Description:

This is a replacement for a rather poorly placed cache from my earlier days of hiding. On most days, this should be a rather muggle free zone. You are looking for a concealed bison tube. Watch where you stick your hands. 

Congrats to my friends TeamTBO for First to Find!

Harry Potter’s Guide to Geocaching – Be sure to bring your wand!

The following spells may be of use to you in your geocaching travels:

If you are having trouble finding a cache, try…

Accio (Summoning Charm)
Pronunciation: (AK-see-oh)
Description: This charm summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant distance. It can be used in two ways; either by casting the charm and then naming the object desired, or by pointing your wandat the desired object during or immediately following the incantation to "pull" the target toward the caster; in either case, the caster must concentrate on the object they wish to summon in order for the charm to succeed. The caster doesn't necessarily need to know the location of the target if they say the name of the object to be summoned.
 
If you see someone coming to duel you for FTF, try…

Confundo (Confundus Charm)
Pronunciation: con-FUN-doh

Cheering Charm

If you’re having trouble putting the pesky cache back exactly as you found it, try…

Depulso (Banishing Charm)
Pronunciation: deh-PUL-soh Description: This spell is used to make the target fly toward a specific location; it is the opposite of the summoning charm.

Repello Muggletum (Muggle-Repelling Charm)
Pronunciation: reh-PELL-loh MUG-ul-tum, MUGG-gleh-tum, mugg-GLEE-tum
Description: Keeps Muggles away from wizarding (caching) places by causing them to remember important meetings they missed and to cause the Muggles in question to forget what they were doing.
 
If you see a muggle (OR THE POLICE!) coming towards you, and you have the cache in hand but don’t want to get caught, try…

Disillusionment Charm
