AREA 52 (the conspiracy cache) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Centris: Area 52 was one of my OLDEST caches -- placed it soon after I first started caching. It has been moved once because of a muggling, but has lived happily here for a long time.

Lots and lots of alien themed Tbugs and coins have come through here.
It was a fun ride -- thanks for playing along!

Geocache Description:

They're Ba-a-a-ck!!!!

Recently uncovered, the super secret AREA 52!!!

*** It is futile to resist coming to this geocache! ***


Many people know about the famous AREA 51 located down south in Roswell, NM, but very few have ever heard of it's ultra secret, northern twin, AREA 52, which is located right here in MN (off of Highway 52 and Butler Road).  The sign will say Thompson Park -- but do not be fooled -- you have entered AREA 52.

Because of the secrecy that is surrounding the base, Area 52 has become host to many conspiracy stories from the public, including alien habitation, reverse engineering of alien crafts and weaponry, genetic testing, media disinformation, and other diabolical research.  History has shown that when aliens landed in this area many years ago they shared much of their technological advances with the friendly people of Minnesota.  Wondrous inventions like lutefisk, galactic sized shopping arenas, sticky notes and biscuits in a can.

AREA 52 has been cleverly disguised all these past years -- but you can plainly see as you pass by there is a nearby landing strip for spaceships, now camouflaged as ordinary airplanes.  Alien spacecraft flying overhead may cause your GPS and compass readings to wander - recheck frequently.

There is also an ancient crop circle in this area which is now disguised -- do not be deceived!  Watch out for aliens disguised as frisbee players in this vicinity, testing out their small experimental hover-saucers.  Be extremely cautious of those disguised as moms in their transport vehicles.

You will do well to come equipped with the latest technology in anti-alien resistance spray to repel the skeeter shaped beings who will attempt to obtain DNA samples from you.

The container you seek is an actual piece of a crashed alien craft cleverly disguised at our test labs as a piece of surplus military equipment.
Well labeled - very ugly, and full of little aliens who are fully trained and ready to travel with you.

It also contains some rescued alien artifacts.
Unfortunately Elvis is gone -- he used to live in the bottom of the original cache, but someone attempted to autopsy him.
