Into the Woods is a 1987 musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book byJames Lapine.
The musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests.
The musical is tied together by a story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family (the original beginning of the Grimm Brothers' "Rapunzel"), their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them, and their interaction with other storybook characters during their journey.
As you can imagine, many of the story lines go “into the woods”.
It has had many revivals on Broadway, London and national tours. It was made into a Disney movie in 2014 and most recently won a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album from the 2022 revival cast on Broadway.
We are a musical family and, often, when hiking through trees, with my son especially, we will begin singing random verses from the musical. This is one of our favorites…
The way is clear
The light is good
I have no fear nor no one should
The woods are just trees
The trees are just wood
No need to be afraid there
There's something in the glade there
We hope you enjoy your walk into the woods to find this cache. It is a regular size jar with swag. BYOP just in case ours is taken. You can park in Landa Park and take the Panther Canyon RIM trail. You will go a little over ½ mile. It is just off the trail, you guessed it, into the woods.
We placed this cache while participating in the 8th Annual Texas Winter Caching Games. We have wanted to put one here, though, since we found out a new trail was being created here. We have hiked Panther Canyon for many years and are thrilled to have a new path to hike.
