Geocache Description:


Congratulations to 1Husky for First To Find

Excalibur, or Caliburn, is the legendary sword of King Arthur, sometimes attributed with magical powers or associated with the rightful sovereignty of Great Britain. In Welsh, the sword is called Caledfwlch.

The best known version of the story of the sword depicts the wizard Merlin thrusting the as yet unnamed sword into a huge stone, saying that the throne will be claimed by the one who was able to withdraw it. Young Arthur would later prove to be the one to do it. The second story has Arthur obtaining the sword named as Excalibur at a magical lake, where it is given to him by the mysterious Lady of the Lake. Beginning with Sir Thomas Malory's version of the story, the Sword in the Stone and Excalibur became identified as the same weapon.

The sword, made by an elf of Avalon, was later stolen by Arthur's half-sister Morgan le Fay, at which time its magical healing scabbard was lost, although Arthur recovered the sword itself. In the battle of Camlann, Arthur was mortally wounded. As he lay dying, he told his companion Sir Bedivere (Griflet) to return the sword to the lake. When Bedivere did so, an arm rose from the lake to catch the sword, brandishing it three time before it disappeared beneath the waters.

DO NOT attempt to get this cache from the Garden State Parkway. It is both unsafe and illegal to do so. You must enter from the front of the cemetery.

This cache was made by my son that lives in North Carolina. While visiting him about a month ago I watched the process how he made this. He has a lot of talent and did a terrific job making this
for me. I hope you like it as much as I do.
