Geocache Description:

Ethel seeks Wisdom and Enlightenment

The posted coordinates will lead thee
to a location on Cape Breton Island,
But only of SOME help will that be,
unless, if maybe, perhaps..........

Hmmmmmm......
could this be connected to the stories, no rumours, or was it only whispers in the night wind of
a lost letterbox cache.
Said to have been hastily concealed by an old, somewhat eccentric, but others might comment, a charming and dashing geocacher. A Miner it was said, who was cornered by muggles, yes those filthy muggles, and forced to take refuge.

A place, a location, a sanctuary, anywhere, somewhere, had to be found. Quickly ! The treasure must be protected, be saved, but how ?
And with no quill or parchment to leave an annotation, how was this location to be preserved for future generations ?
Some say he was near a shimmering DENDRIFORM when he was anointed with brilliance, a scheme, an idea of which only GERADUS MERCATOR could truly appreciate. With indubitable cunning, silence, and skill, and with the masterly technique of a wood worm possessed, the deed was done, or so the fable is told.


Can YOU help ?
Will YOU help ?
Are YOU able to Help ?

Tell no one of your endeavor, for muggles have their spies. For if this tale be true, and the challenge is complete, a note and a log and a stamp, will prove your worthiness. Yea will ascend the heights in this realm of folklore, a " Cacher of Renown" you will have become.
