The Gnome

· A king has an apple tree that he loves so much, he has a protective spell put on it: if anyone picks an apple, they'll be sent far underground. By magic. Ya know.

· This deters apple-pickers, but the king's three daughters crave a bite of the juicy fruit, so they pluck one to share and are sent to an underground prison.

· Wow, does this sound familiar.

· Three hunters (who are also brothers) join the search for the missing princesses. They set up in this old castle where one brother at a time is badly beat up by a gnome that, of course, reappears.

· Only the youngest is brave enough to fight back, and the gnome, in order to prevent himself from getting beat on even more, tells him where the princesses are.

· The youngest brother descends into a well, fights dragons, and sends up each princess on a rope. However, the gnome had warned him that his brothers weren't trustworthy, so he sends up a stone in his place. Sure enough, the brothers cut the rope and the stone falls (if it had been him, he would've died from the fall).

· The brother wanders around the caverns and finds a flute that helps him get back to the surface, because flutes generally have levitating powers.

When gets back up top, he goes to the king, where the daughters recognize him. His traitorous brothers are put to death, and he gets the youngest princess for his wife.

We made the stop at this one quickly as it was an easy find.

We cached our way up Lefthand Canyon to the Morning meet and greet. Off-Road? Event. At the event we were discussing about the 4X4 caches everyone wanted to do after the event. We had already gathered some caches that we wanted to get done up to and around Brainard Lake so we parted ways. We thought we might run into everyone once we completed what we wanted to do and sure enough we saw the group on the Caribou Trail. We joined waawhoo, GotYour6, Memfis Mafia, Back Country Horsemen, and Honeybuzzed to complete the trail. We had a great time 4 wheeling, caching and enjoying the mountain weather. We replaced a few caches that had numerous DNF's and one that had a broken container and no log. Signed some of the logs with our stamp and some with the group of Tobin's Event. TFTC

Having some fun today. We signed as a group as top not take up much log space. Having a great time with 3 Jeep JL's and one cherokee on the trails. Thanks for the hide!

Thanks RubiconNomad, Bubbaraye for this Cache. We always appreciate Cache owners for their contribution to the game.

We are on a crazy family mission to get into 5 digits for finds this year. This is find 6828 for us.
