This cache REQUIRES a Good Flashlight with Good batteries!The cache container is NOT at the posted coordinates the fun does start there though. Arriving at the cache site DO NOT climb on Her it is not safe. Hope You enjoy!!!
This is MY #100 cache to hide! Addicted & Lovin'It!!In the highest regions of North America there was a Queen who roamed among the pines. She has lived in secret up high on Beaver Ridge, surrounded by the beauty of the mountains for many, many years. This is our story of how we met her.....
One evening last summer CubBoy, BigMark, and I (the clever QueenZelda) went camping. After the best dinner ever(BigMark made ribs), we decided to go on a nite hike. The moon was bright and the sky clear. All of a sudden, there was a shooting star and then another and another. What a surprise, we were so lucky to be camping during a meteor shower. On the way back to camp, CubBoy saw a star fall into the trees and of course he wanted to see where it landed. There it was-caught in the branches of a tree. I believe BigMark was the one to spot the next twinkle a little deeper in. The twinkling drew us into the dark, dark forest. Then there it was-the biggest twinkle of all. But on the ground even brighter than any star we had seen that night was something our eyes could not believe. Was it real? Could it be? So we followed them and there She was hidden in the pines of Beaver Ridge...PENELOPE!!
Only when The Fire is in the Sky will the magic of the stars lead You to her.....PENELOPE!!!
08/06/2017 By Koalacanuck Find #6154 (6 of 13 finds with 0 DNF for the weekend) as part of an awesome caching cerw on a lovely (but cold) geocaching and 14'er climbing weekend. Some caches were easy, others were hard simply because of the hikes; all were awesome! TNLNSL - cache is in good condition. Thank you QueenZelda & Cub Boy!
08/06/2017 By PayMeCache Grabbing a few caches this evening with KJKlock, crumbcrunchers and Koalacanuk before heading up to camp.
GOMO team success, again! We where all a little surprised that this cache had not been found in the last year plus. The night cache was still in great shape and we found the final without any troubles. I enjoyed how you showed us where to go at the very end to find Penelope. I'm sure she was gorgeous in her prime and wish I would have seen her years ago.
Found GC1EWMY - Penelope (A Night Cache), on August 5, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.
Thank you, QueenZelda & Cub Boy for placing a fun cache for all of us to enjoy and giving back to the community. I look forward to finding more of your caches. I also look forward to potentially finding Geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our hobby or should I say addiction? Cheers!
08/05/2017 By KJKlock We had a great time finding Penelope. Found with a few other cachers and signed the log under a team name. Thanks for the fun night cache.
