Geocache Description:


Make sure you replace cache as you have found it:

As an aspiring Magizoologist, it is essential to be able to sort through myth and legend in order to find the truth magical or otherwise. However like Nessie of Scotland, Ogopogo of Canada, Issie of japan and the Mokele Mbembe of the African Congo, the Cheney Lake Monster is no myth. Like many of these creatures, I believe that the cheney lake monster is a subartic variety of kelpie.

A kelpie is a shapeshifting water demon native to Britain and Ireland. Able to take any form, they usually take the form of a horse with a bullrush mane  After luring unwary travelers onto their backs, they drag them underwater and eat them. However, I believe this creature is herbivore with a taste for pond lilly and pond weed. It has affinity to take the form of a moose with rack made of drift wood covered in kelp, but can take the form of a large sea serpent, small trout or even land dwelling creatures like bear and moose

I believe that I have found the monster's lair, where it relaxes during the summer months and hibernates in the winter. 
Be Warned!!! Even though this creature may not have taste for humans. It is likely highly territorial and dangerous

P.S. I've named it Frank :)
