pampa obscura Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Fanclub Gebirgsmarine: since, primo, each time we check this cache, there is a new stage gone astray, and, secondly, in the moment i'm not very interested in geocaching, i (d.s.) archive this cache.

concerning adoptions etc., honestly, i'd prefer this cache to be replaced by a new one (but please, nothing below 7km); it has had 29 founds, the notorious cachers have all done it -- i don't see a reason why the area should be blocked much longer. the leftovers will be removed.
sorry for not having archived it earlier.

regards,

d.s.

Cacheowner's note:
This multi-cache has been inspired by manuscript notes we found during a failed attempt to find a cache. Although its content was neither complete nor fully intellegible, we considered it to be our burden to make those strange pages left in a tree hole accessible to the public, without modifying the text, just marking illegible passages by points.

Mysterious manuscript:

and the devil in my eye the first sight I see
Maturin  
I did never appreciate people writing things into books that they didn't own, this time it had to be considered especially rude, since the book - I found it only by incident in some obscure corner of the library, searching for Ortuinus's Ars honeste pettandi in societate - seemed to have survivied centuries without being "commented" by any reader and the delinquent didn't even think of leaving any useful note that could serve as a source of thoughts or interpretations yet unexplored, just useless numbers, senseless words, and caculations
......
My colleague, having been shown this uncivilized act's results and having regained his contenance, seemed interested in those strange remarks; after grepping and then flicking through a book hidden under his desk, which I had not seen before, with his eyes still expanding an anxious look crossing the twillight, seemed to compare ...... could not understand his behaviour, but somehow I feared it would be too negligent if, that evening, he was left alone in his delusive state,
......
Dawn had already passed by as we left the building. Heading westwards, towards the weakening etherical fire, those few clouds still illuminated weakly by the last rays. Westwards... leaving the city, the traffic jams, the car moving out of the centre slowly, just as our blood circulated slowly in our veins. The air, consisting of condensed dust, warmed by the exhaust fumes of the surrounding vehicles, got unremarkably colder with every metre we moved until we had to shut the windows, since we felt as if our words had suddenly frozen on our tongues. The road leading up onto a hill, though we had alrady left the city far behind us, still spitted out cars from both of its ends, coming towards or approaching and overtaking us. We stopped. I looked around, searching for......
