My cache-boys and I love all mythology, and we also noticed that one of our favorite trails didn't have any caches and sought to remedy that. I sat and watched a beautiful falcon (or maybe a hawk) flying around while I was placing this, thus this story.  A standard TOTT might be helpful, but not necessary. CONGRATS to Fork L Man for FTF!

Freya was the Norse goddess of beauty. She came to Asgard in a carriage drawn by gray cats with her little daughter Noss in her lap. Freya was often sad because her husband, Od, had disappeared. Od was a wanderer and a dreamer and had been lost in one world or the other. Freya would cry for him with tears of liquid gold. Freya often went looking for him as a falcon, for she had a suit of falcon feathers which carried her swiftly through the air whenever she put it on. Once, Freya loaned her precious falcon feathers to quick-witted Loki (although, since he was a shape-shifter, not sure why he needed them) so that Loki could go in search of the hammer of Thor, god of thunder, that had been stolen. Loki found the hammer, stolen by the jotun Thrym. Thyrm demanded Freya as his bride in exchange for the hammer, but she refused, so Thor dressed himself as a bride, veil and dress and all, and went to steal back his hammer.

Making the rounds fixing positioning of the caches as they tend to migrate sometimes…also I realize sometimes hard for novice cachers to get this lid on correctly if they’re not familiar. Adjusted and reset. All is good.

Peace love pi and I decided to do some pre-Christmas caching today. We didn't really have a plan, but ultimately decided on Anthem Park and around Sheridan. I don't know if it was everyone doing some last minute shopping or the cold-ish weather, but we had a pretty muggle free day. We had snow flurries, so "caching through the snow" kept playing through my head. Peace love pi laughed at me because I was freezing and layered up like the Stay-Puft marshmallow man. We decided a walk would do us good and headed out on this nice trail. Everything was in good shape with the cache. Thanks for the smiley! Find #3078.

Out caching with lasouthpaw on this chilly morning. I had a DNF in the nearby park so was happy to be back in the area in a snake-free season to avenge that and complete the rest of the park. We headed this way to do a few more before calling it a day. TFTC! All is well with this cache.

Brisk and breezy walk this morning -- we began to wonder if it was going to warm up today! Wind finally settled down for a nice caching day.

Quick find and in good shape.

Did trail caches today as it was not too hot, even tho the air was very full of smoke from the fires. This was an easy find, not too far from the #11 Myth in this series, as I did several trails and did not want to tire early. TFTC

How far away is the last one??
