Geocache Description:



An easy stroll, take the kids and help them  find...

THE 

Treasures

  of the 
Tree  Troll
  
Hardy falls Sign

This cache is not at the numbers as posted
In another's house is where it's hosted.
As a "Mystery" , this hide is shown,
But soon the answer will be known.



The clues you need , below you'll find,
The poetry's poor, we hope you don't mind,
But up the creek is a lovely stroll.
( very soon we'll speak of the Troll ! )




N49 44.516/W119 45.872 is where you park
( We dare you to try this in the dark)
N49 44.533/W119 45.886 is where you start
( The GPSr's about done it's part. )
Read the instructions written below,
Then off to the Falls you can go.
The trail is flat, or just about
Thirty five minutes in and out.



Count the crossings as you proceed,
the total number you will need
Over five you will return,
A view of gold and treasures to earn.
To sit and watch , it is a treat.
So , Near the Falls there is a seat.
Within these clues there are some blanks,
To fill one in , count the seats planks.




We said before we'd speak of a Troll,
You may even see him on this stroll
He is a friendly little guy,
Close to the ground his belongings lie.
It is his home that you do seek.
Inside his door , to have a peek.
Under a bridge or in a tree,
anyplace the sun can't see.



His treasures he keeps in his lair,
Trade with him , but keep it fair.
His trinkets he has in a box
But it hasn't any locks.

They're in plain view, but seen by few
They're easy to find , just look behind.
Finding his goods will not be hard,
But beware ,THERE IS A GUARD !



There are some tools that you will need,
A friend as lookout take my heed !
Maybe a torch to light the way
You may need it at mid-day !

We said down here we'd have a clue
So , we'll try to write a few.
As the following Lat. is not complete,
Fill in the number from "the seat"
( N 49-44.62____ )



From all the bridges, you know the count,
Taking four leaves this amount.____
To make the longitude a whole
Put this new number in the hole.
(  W 119 45.9__1  )

Now both the co-ords you now know,
So find the goodies , off you go !
But
a very good watch you must keep,
As out of nowhere MUGGLES WILL LEAP  !


After you've been upon your knee,
the mark and footprints Muggles may see.
Take a branch and wipe them away.
We hope you've had a very nice day.
