Geocache Description:


 

**NOTE Container Is NOT at Posted Coordinates**

On quiet nights in Baldwin County, when the marsh fog curls low and the cicadas fall silent, a torch is sometimes seen drifting along forgotten paths.

The flame burns steady, like an Olympic torch, bright and proud, never bowing to wind or rain. Old-timers say it appeared the summer the Olympics were on every television, when the idea of carrying a flame for others still meant something.

They say the torch belongs to a runner who once helped guide lost travelers, passing hope hand to hand the way the Olympic flame is passed from runner to runner. When he disappeared into the marsh, the torch kept going.

If you follow it, the ground firms beneath your feet and the path opens, leading you safely home.
If you rush past it, the light fades—because the torch, like the Olympics, rewards patience, respect, and the long way forward.

By morning, the marsh is empty again, but Baldwin County remembers:
some flames aren’t meant to win races—only to guide the lost.
