Launcelot was the son of King Ban of Benwick and Queen Elaine.
He was the First Knight of the Round Table, and he never failed in
gentleness, courtesy, or courage. It has been said that Launcelot
was the greatest fighter and swordsman of all the knights of the
Round Table. Legend tells us that as a child, Launcelot was left by
the shore of the lake, where he was found by Vivien, the Lady of
the Lake. She fostered and raised him, and in time Launcelot became
one of history's greatest knights.
Legend also says that Launcelot was the father of Galahad by
Elaine. It was another Elaine, Elaine of Astolat, who died of a
broken heart because Launcelot did not return her love and
affection.
Many sources tell us of the love shared toward each other of
Launcelot and Queen Guinevere. There may be some truth to this
since Launcelot was a favorite of the Queen's, and he rescued her
from the stake on two different occasions. It was at one of these
rescues that Launcelot mistakenly killed Sir Gareth, which led to
the disbanding of the Round Table. After the Queen repented to an
abbey as a nun, Launcelot lived the rest of his life as a hermit in
penitence.
This cache is located just off the Rail Trail in Morgantown.
Please note that the cache is located near the Monongahela River,
and the water near the cache is swift and deep. The cache is
located above the river, and although you will not need to get down
near the river, you should be careful of your footing, this could
be considered a dangerous area if you are not careful.
This cache should not be made more difficult than it is. The
cache is placed under a flat brown rock (the only one around)
within 10 feet of the trail and fence. You DO NOT need to crawl
down into the grey rocks. Do not do so. It is dangerous and
unneccessary. The hint describes the exact cache location, and the
spoiler photo shows the exact rock you are looking for.
