Geocache Description:


The Magician's Nephew -- Uncle Andrew

Uncle Andrew is a magician in London, who has a obsession with brandy and cigars. He is a cruel, selfish person whose life is changed forever when he arrives in the world of Narnia with Digory and Polly. Digory, Uncle Andrew's nephew, and his friend Polly uses Uncle Andrew's own magic rings, which they obtain thanks to Uncle Andrew's previous cruelty against them. These rings could take people to other worlds. Digory and Polly don't intend to take Uncle Andrew with them when they go to Narnia, but he gets in anyway. After arriving in Narnia, because he makes himself think it was not so, he is unable to hear Aslan the creator of Narnia, or the talking animals. He gets into trouble when the animals think he is the "Neevil". He has some unpleasant experiences with the animals, a few stemming from the fact he can't hear them talk. After his experiences in Narnia, Aslan gets him back into London where he became a nicer and less selfish person.

The Cache

After finding the cache, PLEASE be gentle to it, it's fragile, and I worked hard on it. Please hide as found, and be careful of muggles. If there's anything wrong with the cache, please mention it in your log. The original contents are a logbook, the geocache note, a marble, two tiny shells, a beaded dragonfly, a few star stickers, and a Roman soldier pin which says, "I sing of arms and men" in Latin. The pin is for the FTF. Enjoy!

Note: Geocheck seems to be experiencing problems with its site, so in the meantime, to confirm coordinates, please email me through geocaching.com.
