Part of a small series of caches pertaining to Greek Mythology. I hope you enjoy learning about these times as much as I do!

At no time will you have to cross a fence.


Congrats to Cx4 for the nighttime FTF!
Hestia is the Greek goddess of the hearth fire, hence presiding over domestic life. She is the eldest sister of Zeus and the oldest daughter of Rhea and Cronus.

She was a virgin-goddess, and when wooed by Poseidon and Apollo, swore by the head of Zeus to remain a virgin. She had no throne, but tended the sacred fire in the hall on the Olympus and every hearth on Earth was her altar. She is the gentlest of all the Olympians.

Hestia also symbolized the alliance of the Metropolis ("mother-city") with the smaller settlements which were founded in the colonies. The colonists took fire from the hearth in the prytaneion and kept it burning in their new towns. The Romans called her Vesta, and build a temple for her in the Forum.

Coordinates put this cache in the middle of the road, so I looked on both sides. Wasn't able to find it though. Maybe another day.

Once we learned about the Hidden Creature Challenge we knew we would have to travel in order to complete the challenge. We simply did not have one hundred caches within 40 miles to be able to log. Since we had not been in the Pueblo area for years we decided to cache our way to and then in the area.

Our second day of caching in and around the Pueblo area before heading home, included more maintenance on 10 more caches. We replaced caches, logs and containers on ignored caches by the owners. We had completed the Hidden Creature Challenge yesterday but enjoyed the new area while adding to our numbers. Found cache about 47 feet NW of GZ. SL,TFTC


Thank you TotallyAwesomeSocks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
