How Six Made Their Way in the World

·         A soldier is discharged but not properly paid for his services, so he vows to seek vengeance on the king. 

·         He wanders around gathering dudes with extraordinary skills: a strong man, a huntsman with amazing vision, a man who can turn windmills with his breath, a runner so fast he usually unbuckles one leg, and a man with a hat that, when straightened, will cause a frost.

·         They go to the king's city, where it's been declared that whoever can win a race against the king's daughter can marry her. But since there's always a catch, any losers will be decapitated. The runner is about to easily win when he stops for a nap, but the huntsman spots him and fires a shot to wake him up, so the runner wins the race.

·         The king decides to try to dispatch the group, so he sends them to a room that will burn them up, but hat-guy causes a frost so they all survive. 

·         The king realizes that they're not so easily killed, so he offers them as much gold as they can carry in exchange to renouncing the claim on his daughter. This would've worked to the king's advantage, except the strong man carries away all the kingdom's gold in a sack the size of a house.

·         The king sends his army after them to retrieve the gold, but the breath-man blows away the soldiers. At this point, the king just has to let them go. 

·         The six men divide the gold among themselves and live happily. It's the Grimms' take on Ocean's Eleven

Out caching with Greasepot and Pobah on a beautiful day. Decided to target the area above Blackhawk and hoping for NO SNOW! We got our wish AND we found some caches---I call that a GREAT outing! Thanks for adding to our fun & TFTC BigSmile.

Heavy muggle activity from the neighbors. Had to be super discreet. TFTC

I was going to park & walk to some of these but then it started raining with a little thunder so I decided to use the car.

Thanks, RubiconNomad! I like this series. I thought that this would be a good morning to go up into the mountains for some caches. I was here a couple weeks ago near Nederland, and I wanted to go up Caribou Road some more with the Forester. Unfortunately I found the road closed at one point, so I walked until the snow-ice ridges across the road got to be too much, so I will have to come back here later in the summer. So I went north into Gilpin County where the roads were open to finish my morning. I run a pocket query of the area so I always have plenty of caches to look for, and I do not depend on my phone. I love it around here.
