Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a series of easy-to-find caches along the beautiful Warhill Sports Complex multi-use trail commemorating those who influenced the English settlement of James City County, and by extension, the United States. The trail is 3.5 miles long, but has many exit and entrance locations, which you can find here.

We really don't know if Madoc, illegitimate son of Owain Gwynedd, really existed. The legends say he took to sea to avoid family bloodshed. He supposedly brought kinsmen to the west, who peacefully mingled with natives there. Regardless of the reality of Madoc's existence, he was a rally cry behind which England claimed pre-eminence on the Atlantic Coast of North America, challenging Spain's colonial ambitions. I hope the legend of Madoc is true. So do folks in Alabama and Kentucky.

There's a clue for GC5WHK9 in this cache.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Because the trail is set in a wildlife conservation area, please take special care to not disturb the vegetation (or the wildlife!). The caches are set up to be easy for you to find. If your coordinates indicate that a cache is in a tree, please check the foot of the tree first, then along the trunk. Caches will never be out along the branches or in shrubs or bushes. If it takes more than a minute or two to find the cache, please check the hint. The trail is open from 7 am until sunset.

Thanks to James City County for keeping up such a beautiful trail and letting us cache here!
