Geocache Description:


**********
Update: The quest is now complete, and those knights who braved its hazards have been rewarded. Thanks to everyone who took the time to hunt this one down! It's been fun while it lasted, but the camouflage has been kind of a chore to keep up with, so I'm retiring the multi. Heads up, though. The first stage will soon be a quick micro in it's own right.
**********
Once upon a time, a great treasure was secreted away, it’s location known only to those few who knew the secrets of consulting the stars for guidance. But dark forces learned of the treasure and cast a spell on its hiding place so that none could find it. Many who tried were never heard from again. Ages passed without news of the treasure. Its memory passed into the mists of time,…

Until one fine summers day, when out of nowhere came a glimmer of hope. It seemed that the dark spell which had been cast over the treasure was not strong enough to hold it forever. Word came that the treasure was safe, but the path to its new location was more perilous than ever. Only those who proved themselves most worthy would be able to find the treasure “Betwixt Melanie”.

Your quest to find the treasure, oh brave Knight of the Realm, begins (where else but) in Camelot. Park in the Camelot Pool parking lot and begin your quest by following the given coordinates to the first stage of the cache. Prove yourself worthy enough to find it and you will learn how to find the next stage. Those worthy enough to discover the second stage will be given the location of the treasure.

But have a care; things are not what they seem. The bitter war of magic waged over the treasure left many enchantments behind. Some objects may now appear to be what they are not...and GPSrs have been known to act strangely beneath the wires,...
