Geocache Description:


🍀This is the 2nd in our wee Pot o’ Gold geocaches, hidden near one of our frequented spots if ye dare try to find it. 🍀

According to Irish lore, Leprechauns were once mighty warriors that had a magic spell cast on them causing them to be wee tiny magical lads. They live in hiding, sometimes in the roots of trees, or under rocks, or in fields, or other places we don’t normally think to look. Leprechauns spend their time collectin’ bits o’ gold and hidin’ it at the end of a rainbow. They’re seldom seen , very shy lil lads. Tis’ told that if ye are stealthy and lucky enough to catch one, ye get to keep his fortune. Ye must be very sneaky cuz these lads will do anything to protect their pot o’ gold from bein’ stolen! The wee lad will use all kinds of trickery to get ye to take your eyes off him for a wee moment, and he and his gold will magically vanish! So if you’re ever walkin’ down an Irish lane, listen for a tiny tap-tap sound, and go to the hollow of an ancient tree, stump, rock, or torch…sneak up with stealth and take a peek to see if ye can spot the wee lilLeprechaun makin’ his tiny shoes. If ye can outwit the devious lil trickster, ye might discover his pot o’gold when he’s not lookin’.  Don’t mind if a wee bit of Leprechaun gold dust gets on ye, for it brings good luck.

🍀 Pot O’Gold #2 is small lock n’ lock type container, with room only for log and wee contents (small TBs?). Original contents upon hiding:

FTF= Celtic Cross blessing pin, Lucky green beads, Gold coins, Log & pencil

 

🍀 Congratulations to nothereeither for FTF! Happy New Year!
