The Golden Bird

· A king can't figure out who's stealing golden apples from his special golden apple tree, so he asks his three sons to keep watch.

· The first two fall asleep, but the third spies a golden bird taking the apples, and snags some of its feathers, which are deemed to be very precious.

· Each son sets out in search of the coveted golden bird, but the first two ignore the advice of a talking fox and end up wasting time at an inn full of merriment.

· The third son listens to the fox and almost gets the golden bird, except he's caught by the king of that land. He's sentenced to death unless he can bring back a horse as fast as the wind.

· The fox helps him with this task, too, but he's caught again and sentenced to death unless he can bring back a beautiful princess for another king.

· Again the fox helps the prince, and he makes off with the princess, the horse, and the golden bird successfully.

· The fox leaves the prince, giving some advice that the prince again does not follow: he finds his brothers sentenced to death, but buys their lives back.

· They betray him, and once again the fox bails him out. The traitorous brothers are executed, while the prince marries the maiden.

· The fox comes to him one last time, asking him to kill it, which the prince at first refuses because the fox has helped him so much.

· But when the prince relents, the fox is transformed into a human, since he had been under an enchantment, and is actually the princess's brother. Everyone rejoices.

I looked quite a bit in the rocks & trees. I even decrypted the last finders place where they left it & the hole was empty. This is a very busy muggle spot with multiple fire rings.

[Beautiful day for an ATV trip to find some new caches along what is one of my favorite circle roads. I've ridden Miner's Gulch both ways - can't decide if I like the rocks uphill or downhill better.... TFTC and the story!

NOTE: I found this cache on the ground. Didn't know where it was supposed to be exactly, but put it IN the greenery I found it near. I plan on going back before August is over. I will contact the cache owner and see if I can find the correct spot.

Hint:] In the tree - where a branch must have fallen off and left a convenient hole, about five feet up.

Out jeeping with Team Red Rubicon again! Today, Team Laxson, Red Ruby, Takes the Hard Way and I made a run on several trail--Cumberland Gulch, Apex Road, Miner's Gulch, and Yankee Hill to name a few. We had a great day and grabbed quite a few caches along the way.

Thanks!
