Geocache Description:


This is part of my Princess Bride series of caches.

Go ahead.  Finish the quote!  "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." 

This series wouldn't be complete without highlighting one of the most quoted lines from the movie!  Inigo Montoya is a fictional character in William Goldman's 1973 novel The Princess Bride. In Rob Reiner's 1987 film adaptation, he was portrayed by Mandy Patinkin.

Inigo Montoya is portrayed as a Spanish swordsman and henchman to the Sicilian criminal Vizzini. Inigo's father Domingo, the great swordsmith, was asked by Count Rugen, a nobleman with a six-fingered right hand, to forge a sword to accommodate his unusual grip.  Count Rugans gloved hand with six fingersWhen Rugen returned, he would only offer to pay a small fraction of what was promised and Domingo refused to sell him the sword because Count Rugen could not appreciate the great work of the sword. Rugen then killed Domingo as eleven-year-old Inigo watched on.  Inigo challenged Rugen to a fight and lost but Rugen recognizing Inigo's talent with the sword spared the boy's life, allowed him to keep the sword, but gave him two scars, one on each cheek. Inigo dedicated his life to the art of fencing in preparation to avenge his father's death.  When they at last dual Inigo voices the famous quote.  Despite being wounded by Rugen three times, Inigo repeated the phrase multiple times before killing Rugen and avenging his father's death.  

Search for this cache at your own risk if you have six fingers on your right hand!  You never know who you may encounter! 

BEST APPROACH TO AVOID STICKER VINES:  Go to where the park sign is at the entrance to the park and enter the woods there.  A few feet in you will see an old fenceline.  Follow along near this fence line and you will wind up in the right area without having to bushwhack through a LOT of thorny vines. 

You are looking for a small container hidden in the usual manner.  If your coords are bouncing in the woods, the hint should help bring you to the right spot!  

Have fun, be safe, and let me know if the cache needs attention!
