Astra inclinant sed non obligant
Adventure awaits you on the trails around, and there's a nice place to sit and enjoy the weather (or some s'mores) with your friends / family when you're done hiking and geocaching. If you're here in the evening, wait around a while to see the stars, but remember the stars incline us, they do not bind us. The phrase means that while fate – whether determined by the stars, the gods, or something else entirely – might nudge us in a certain direction, we are never forced in it, that free will exists and the decision of what to do in any circumstance is ultimately our own. Today, you decided to enjoy nature and get outside. Kudos to you, and never lose your spirit of adventure.
How did it get here? My friend (marthanoir3 ) and I were out geocaching and we decided to add one off a popular hiking trail. It's a beautiful area, near a meadow that has chairs and a firepit, and hiking trails that go for miles and miles (but this cache is not too far into the trail). Broken Bow is my favorite place to go hiking, and we used an old watertight lotion container to hide this small stash. To make it special, in addition to the logbook and directions, we included a FTF gift which is an exclusive button from the mysterious package company that I got during an old kickstarter. The cache is named after the motto of those adventure seekers, and because Geocaching gives me the same experience that mysterious package company does - a thrill of finding something / figuring out something that so few people do.
