Geocache Description:


Poor Ariel, the mer-cacher was sad because the couldn't find caches. Against her father, King Triton's, orders she went to Ursula, the sea witch for help.

My dear, sweet child! It's what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself find caches.

Poor souls with no one else to turn to.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty. 

They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch. 

But you'll find that nowadays I've mended (almost) all my ways.

Repented. Seen the light and made a switch.

True? Yes! N29

And I fortunately know a little magic, a talent that I possess and here lately, please don't laugh, 

I use it on behalf of the miserable cacher failures.

The one's longing to solve CTG puzzles,

The ones who want the FTF 39.

And do I help them? Yes, indeed!

Those poor unfortunate souls. So sad. So true. .506

They come flocking to my GPS crying, Ursula please solve the puzzle.

And do I help them? Yes indeed.

Now it's happened once or twice, someone couldn't pay the price.

And I've had to rake them 'cross the coals. Yes, I've had that complaint

But on the whole, I've been a saint, for those poor unfortunate souls. W096

Here's my best offer, cachekins. I know a spell that can turn you into a super cacher for three days.

Now I've got a procedural clause, sort of a "squid quo pro." Before the sun sets on the third day, you must find and log: 10 CTG tree climber caches, 9 Ca$hqueen caches, 8 STFX caches, 7 Seidelos caches, 6 Lightstormz caches, 5 FTF's, 4 Ramsey Warrior caches, 3 GeePa caches, 2 Earth caches and 1 L Clan mystery cache that hasn't been found in over six years. Oh, and lab caches don't count. 02.

If you cannot fulfill your end of the bargain, your trackables will be mine forever. You poor unfortunate soul.

It's sad. It's true.  .811

If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet, you've got to pay the toll.

You poor unfortunate soul!
