Compact three stage micro cache.
This is a multi-stage micro cache. The initial co-ordinates bring you to a setting reminiscent of Tolkien's Fangorn Forest, and you may expect to encounter an ent at any moment, but no sightings have been reported for many years, and no knowledge of Tolkien's works is neccessary to complete this cache.
There is a paved parking lot to the south of this location.
At the co-ordinates given above, the answer to the question 'Who loves Theresa?' may be found on an ancient inscription. This is the first of two names you will need to complete this cache.
When you have found the first name, climb the south face of Weathertop (the hill to the east of you) and find another Boy's name.
The two names you have found may be used to complete the final co-ordinates of the cache, which is a small camoflaged container with only a log sheet and an emergency pencil. Please bring your own pen or pencil and sign and date the logsheet.
The FIRST name you found will complete the LATITUDE of the cache....
N 26* 40.---'
The SECOND name will complete the LONGITUDE....
W080* 03.---'

IMPORTANT NOTE:
3/18/13
Alas! Unlike their love, which is eternal, the ancient inscription proclaiming David's love for Teresa has faded into obscurity after little more than half a century.
To complete this cache, proceed to the listed coordinates and admire the magnificent ficus trees of Fangorn Forest. Be alert for ents.
Now that you have the first name, climb the south face of Weathertop, and be alert for the second name (which is as ancient as the first) to appear at any time. Continue to the top and enjoy the view.
Descend Weathertop and proceed to the final!
