"This ...is the Golden Snitch, and it's the most important ball of the lot. It's very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see. It's the Seeker's job to catch it."
The Golden Snitch, often simply called the Snitch, is the third and smallest ball used in Quidditch. It is a walnut-sized gold-coloured sphere with silver wings. It flies around the Quidditch field at high speeds, sometimes pausing and hovering in place. The Seeker's goal is to catch the Snitch before the other team's seeker, which is worth one-hundred and fifty points. The game can only end when the Snitch has been caught, or by mutual agreement of the two teams' Captains; the latter is very rare, however, as one team would have to lose.
As a Geocaching Seeker, will you find this stationary Snitch and score for your team?
This cache follows the Harry Potter theme along this stretch, but does not hold a clue for the sorting hat. You'll just need to find the 4 houses to find the power of the sorting hat.
The Fox River Trail is a state trail, so you can walk the trail for free, but if you choose to bike, you will need a state trail pass.
