**Cache is not at posted coordinates - do not go swimming in the Bear River!**
There are 15 important things you need to know before embarking on your quest:
Your quest begins in the northerly direction, past the haunted forest, but near the river.
- First, you should know that along the river there many thorny bushes - Russian olives, rose brambles, etc. It may seem like just a simple scratch from the thorn at first, but it can escalate into something more serious.
- You'll probably want to build a campfire at some point - it can get cold when you're questing. Despite looking cool, chain mail doesn't have good thermal qualities and won't keep you warm. Hence, the campfire.
- There will NOT be any tree climbing required, but you may need to find a shrubbery should you run into any Knights who say "Ni!".
- Teamwork is an excellent idea. Assemble your team and continue your quest!
- Please do not bring snowmobiles on this quest. It scares the nearby sloths and honeybees.
- If you have a horse to ride, your quest will be must faster. However, if you only have coconut shells, you will still manage.
- I'm assuming you have your telephone nearby (in your pocket). Keep it close in case you need to phone a friend!
Now you'll veer left toward the western valley and continue forward on your quest for the cache.
- You may encounter dangerous animals at this point. Be especially wary of rabbits. They seem cute and fluffy but they are quite deadly.
- Do not bring dogs. Cats, though admittedly less useful than a dog, may be brought along.
- It's important to keep a positive attitude in this dangerous area - for example:
- You may want to stop and eat your carefully packed but now slightly squished peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but unfortunately, there are no picnic tables within a 30 mile radius.
- Though rare, you may spot a blue spotted newt along the river bed. This may (but probably will not) be helpful on your quest so you can pack it in your tourist suitcase along with your other TOTT.
- Even though you are a determined cacher on an important quest, make sure to take the time to smell the roses and take in the scenic view.
- FYI, there is food nearby - a couple of coconuts arrived via swallow (European) and grew trees here about a mile and half in. I wouldn't recommend drinking a ton of coconut milk due to the laxative side effects, unless you brought TP and enjoy when nature calls in nature. But coconut milk might go well with your PB&J. Your choice!
- As you should be able to tell since there are 15 steps to this quest, there will be significant hiking involved, not including any movement in the opposite direction due to running away from obstacles.
And here's your trusty sword - EXCALIBUR:
GOOD LUCK!
