Zarnip's Zenith
From far beyond the starry sea,
A tiny ship came through the tree.
An alien brave, not big or loud,
Named Zarnip, bold and Zeta-proud.
He scanned the Earth from skies so wide,
Then found a lake, all calm outside.
With trees that stretched and leaves that swayed,
He knew this spot was tailor-made.
He parked his ship up in a limb,
Cloaked it fast—no one saw him.
He watched as humans fished and played,
Took notes on squirrels, then sipped his Glayde.
His base was secret, safe, and snug,
Until one day he gave a shrug—
“I’ll roam the world,” he said with glee,
“But I’ll leave my ship up in this tree.”
So if you spot what seems misplaced,
A strange contraption, oddly placed—
Retrieve with care, don’t make a clatter,
Zarnip’s ride is prone to shatter.
And now this log, to mark the feat,
Is where Earth folk and stars can meet.
A cosmic quest, a leafy rest—
You’ve found the nest of Zarnip’s best.
This cache is located at Union Ridge Conservation Area. Union Ridge consists of 8262.7 acres. This cache is placed at the lake at Union Ridge. It is a nice lake with plenty of fish and a boat ramp. Feel free to bring a fishing pole, a picnic basket, and make an afternoon of it. Union Ridge is a very popular area for hunters during deer and turkey seasons, so be aware of that.
Area Hours Are:
-
Sunday, 04:00 AM - 10:00 PM
-
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 04:00 AM - 10:00 PM
To get to the area where the cache is, you will have to drive down HWY D. To get to HWY D there are a few options: HWY 63 from Green Castle, HWY 149 from Novinger or from HWY 136, or HWY O which also starts in Novinger. All of these options are curvy, hilly roads. Personally, I enjoy the drive and countryside, I hope you do too.
---Please put the cache back in its proper place. You will have to push it back, but I did this several times in testing and did not find it difficult. Thank you!
