Geocache Description:


The book The Lightning Thief tells the story of Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old child of the Greek God Poseidon. After discovering he is a half-blood (half-God, half-human), Percy goes to Camp Half-Blood to train to be a hero. He is sent on a quest across the US and back to find Zeus's stolen master lightning bolt and return it to Mount Olympus, and save the world.

We'd like to take you on a short journey based on the story.

This is a 5-part multi at Camp Eastman. Container sizes range from regular to micro, each contains a digit to use for the final coords. Final is a small, with room for TBs and trade items.

More or less kid friendly. Total walk is under a mile, and there is a nice playground very nearby. To keep everybody happy on your quest, please note: Bug spray is a must. Do step carefully and look around for clear paths in to each WP to avoid some stinging nettle, poison ivy and wire from an old fence that are in the surrounding areas.

The posted coords are for WP1. The centaur Chiron, teacher at Camp Half-Blood, will send you on your quest and give you the first missing digit for the final coords.

Final is at N 43 14.(WP1)(WP2)2 W 077 34.(WP3)(WP4)6

Prizes for FTF and STF are an LED flashlight and a bead necklace (in the story, campers get a bead for their necklace at the end of each summer at camp!)
