Geocache Description:

This cache is a smaller-sized ammo for which you must go "into the woods". Not a super long hike, but farther in than many of the other geocaches in the area. Probably not advisable to attempt if things are really snowy.  Also best to, as noted in the musical, to be "

Into the woods,
Then out of the woods,
And home before dark!

 

From the award-winning musical "Into the Woods" (ITW), the childless baker and his wife find they are childless due to a curse placed  by the witch next door. In the opening prologue, the witch tells them how to reverse the curse:

"You wish to have 
The curse reversed?
I'll need a certain
Potion first.
Go to the woods and bring me back
One: the cow as white as milk,
Two: the cape as red as blood,
Three: the hair as yellow as corn,
Four: the slipper as pure as gold.

Bring me these
...
I guarantee,
A child as perfect
As child can be.

Go to the wood!"

My kids came up with idea of releasing four travelbugs for the four potion items--which were released this summer (TB6RD1PTB6QYWWTB6RCPZTB6RCRX

The goal for  these TBs is to come to this cache.  Once they have all made it back, my kids want to release a fifth TB ("A child as perfect as child can be").
