Geocache Description:

Easy walk in the park to the GZ, so many choices to look for this one though. Is that it, maybe, maybe not...

 


There was a prior cache at this location that sadly I looked for several times without being able to find. I noticed it was archived and thought I would put one here for all to enjoy.

 

From Wikipedia:

 

The name Phoenix in Greek mythology, a phoenix (Ancient Greek: φοῖνιξ phoinixLatin: phoenix, phœnix, fenix) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn.

Associated with the Sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. According to some sources, the phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although there are other sources that claim that the legendary bird dies and simply decomposes before being born again.[1] According to some texts, the phoenix could live over 1,400 years before rebirth.[2] HerodotusLucanPliny the ElderPope Clement ILactantiusOvid, and Isidore of Seville are among those who have contributed to the retelling and transmission of the phoenix motif.
