Description

y's Magic Carpet is an entry by 2y'stassies in the Bingo Game.

The y's Magic Carpet has it's origins in the court of the Queen of Sheba around 950BC. The Queen's alchemist, experimenting with dyes, produced several brown striped rugs that hovered several cubits above the ground. While enthralled by these rugs the Queen, then infatuated with King Soloman, ordered a green silk carpet embellished with silver, gold and precious stones. She then presented the carpet to the King whose exploits are part of flying carpet history. Brown stiped rugs were no longer in fashion and were discarded to the scrap pile in the weaving rooms. One weaver, y's Persian, took one of the brown rugs home to use on the floor of his humble dwelling. His five sons soon discovered the magical qualities of the carpet and their adventures are recorded in y's history. On his death bed, fearing family feuds over inheritance, he had the rug cut into five pieces, one for each son. And it came to pass that each male descendant inherited a piece of the y's Magic Carpet. Be very carful opening the container - the carpet may take off.

WARNING: The last recorded flight by a piece of this carpet was  . . . . . . . . However, the owners take no responsibility for geocachers who might sit on the carpet, say the magic words (do not say "Bingo") and then find themselves transported to foreign parts.

You are required to sign the register attached to the carpet as proof that you understand the warnings and the consequences of not heeding the warnings. You will need to provide your own writing implement.

The y's Magic Carpet is starting to become a little frayed around the edges. So, time to retire so that the container can be used for another cache.

This is a lovely moveable, and I'm sorry to have to say goodbye to it so soon! (I remembered late last night that it's still in the bingo game so it was a good way to break my usual habit of them sitting on my console for two months). An innovative idea and one of my favourite caches! Thanks!

I wanted to find this one, so was happy when it was still there at the end of the event. It's made its way to Hobart but hasn't landed yet.

I stopped at the Gutteridge Gardens car park with Mum and found the few that were nearby, but unfortunately, I couldn't lay my eyes, hands or bottom on the magic carpet. I was quite intrigued by this one too!

We picked this one up without looking at it, when we got it home we realised that it wasn’t the one that was supposed to be at the cords! Still it was good to have another look at this very cool cache – TFTC...again!

I have placed a few, well quite a few caches on my driveway. They are available at all times, but please take 5 or so at a time. I am happy for you to take more, but please don't just hide them all together.

By the way I have a nice photo that I will post of all the caches together

Day 2 of the race and we couldn’t resist going out again, not when there were a couple of FTF’s still sitting there! We ended up with 2 FTF’s, 17finds in total, 2 random meetings with fellow cacher’s and a pair of sunglasses!

After being pipped at the post for a cache, we were sitting contemplating our next move, when who should show up but DaFiChNi. We were in luck as they had this cache on board with them and were happy enough to pass on. Thank you DaFiChNi, and it was lovely to meet ¾ of the team!
Thank you for the cache, we are having a great time! Awesome idea! Very cute
