This is one of fourteen caches that make up the Western Sky portion of the Path of the Zodiac series of caches. Thirteen of the caches composing this portion represent the thirteen constellations that occupies the ecliptic that defines the Western Zodiac. The fourteenth cache, Path of the Zodiac: The Western Sky, can only be located after the initial thirteen caches in the portion have been located and the clues they contain gathered. The order in which these thirteen caches are found does not matter, but finding all of them is a requirement to seek out and log the fourteenth cache. In mythology, the constellation of Capricorn is sometimes associated with Amalthea who is occasionally depicted as a goat, or goat herder. Amalthea is given credit for nurturing and raising Zeus, who had been hidden away from his father, Cronos, so he wouldn't be devoured by the titan. Amalthea's generosity became symbolized in the cornocopia, or horn of plenty, which could provide inexhaustible riches. Riches without end, however, can also be a curse, thus those seeking out this cache should be wary of asking for too much. The Riddle of Capricorn awaits below. Are you up to the challenge? RIDDLE OF CAPRICORN Spin, Leek! Spin! The Riddle of Capricorn is a video puzzle. The above image of the leek spinning girl is linked to a YouTube video that you will need to use to help create the correct coordinates that will allow for the cache to be found. Good luck. [280409T00:01:15][280409T00:02:35][280409T00:01:27] When you find the cache remember to record the clue contained inside the container. You'll need it if you are looking to complete the full series. [280409T00:00:03][280409T00:02:45][280409T00:00:49] Outside of providing a coordinate checker for each puzzle, I will not give personal help, hints, etcetera until the whole of the Path of the Zodiac series have been completed by a few cachers. It's the only fair way to do it as completing this series should be considered something of an accomplishment and making it to the end should go to those who make it there on their own devices. Cachers that have worked out a puzzle are discouraged from giving much away if asked for help in order to keep up the level of challenge provided by this series.

Thanks for the fun puzzle series! Managed to solve 6 of the series before visiting this weekend from Denver. Left heart stone and path tag. Found on a nice hike with geodog Dakota. SL.

Another fun puzzle. It took a little while to solve but had played with similar ones and was able to find the solution quicker than some. Had to make a decision on the path to take to set me up for the next cache so Capricorn was the pick. The hike to here was nice though I'm getting a little hungry, good thing I have some jerky to go with my water. The cache was a nice quick find, placement was great. TFTC.

Solving this puzzle was the highlight of my day. I only have a couple of these under my belt, but I really appreciate this series and the work that went into it. I took a couple of my kids and friend Bob out to find this one. Easy to walk to. Couldn't get my truck all the way because of gullies in the road, but a nice half mile hike in and out.

Thanks for the Cache!

It took a long time to solve this but finally. The find was a lot easier. A nice evening for a jeep ride to get this one done. TFTC
