Geocache Description:


Hidden in the swamps of Florin (Magna) lies a secret entrance to a chamber known as The Pit of Despair. And in this pit, lies a machine that can make even the bravest cry as it sucks years of their life away. Be sure to wear a mask that is terribly comfortable and be ready to rescue Buttercup from the clutches of Humperdinck. To get here, you may not have to pass through the fire swamp and the dangerous ROUSes, but you will need to walk through a different slightly swampy (depending on the season) grass field until you find, located in this Pit of Despair, the dreaded Machine. And we hope in finding the cache, you may also find...true...love.

This is a small cntainer, currently suspended above The Machine (please put it back just where you found it). You will have to park your car (see the waypoints) and walk across "The Pit" to find it. There is no need to lift or unlatch anything here. Also, be careful in walking across The Pit as there may be hidden scat from Guilderian horses, and some hidden ditches that may or may not contain lightning sand.

Room for a few trinkets to trade. Extra points if those trinkets are related in any way to The Princess Bride.
