Geocache Description:


Placed for the 2025 MWGB

The Dragons at Caerphilly Castle

Yep, it's another night cache in the no longer haunted woods, where the swamps hold the secrets of the Dragons at Caephilly Castle and their nocturnal dinosaur relatives, as well as the dreaded Nocturnal Unicorns and the Pink Flamingos. And maybe a stray Killer Klown or two, but don't expect to see them this year..

This night cache is not for the faint of heart. Zoe and Daisy recommend that you proceed with extreme caution. Watch out for trip hazards, thorns, skeeters, ticks, vines, poisonous plant life, and poisonous wildlife...and maybe more...

Geo-pups Zoe and Daisy were sniffing along the trail as it was getting dark, and they thought they heard the distant sounds of dinosaurs in the deep woods. Then Daisy thought she saw a Dancing Unicorn, not to be confused with a Prancing Unicorn. Needless to say, she remembered the stories she heard from Cheech about nocturnal unicorns, and she remembered parts of what happens to puppies in the woods at night and stories about velociraptors...mixed up a bit with killer flamingos and a black knight, but in any case she decided that Nocturnal Unicorns were very very bad to find in the woods in the darkness.

This time the trail loosely follows the path left by Daisy as she ran from the dreaded Nocturnal Unicorns that occasionally haunt her dreams at night. However, part of the trail also follows the path taken by Zoe, who isn't afraid of unicorns, but is absolutely terrified of velociraptors, so she ran from the sounds too, but not always on the same path as Daisy.

There may be places where the trail splits, but all trails will go to Caerphilly Castle where the final awaits under the watchful eye of a princess. 

As always with a one-way night cache, you may want to turn on breadcrumbs or other tracking methods to find your way back, or just Slagle your way to the starting coords...but beware the Children of the Corn depending on your path out...

This night cache was placed over numerous days and nights using methods learned from Handyman. To the best of our knowledge, no unicorns, flamingos, or clowns were injured during the placing of this cache. What may have happened after the cache placement is unknown at this time.
