Geocache Description:

Who shall be crowned King/Queen of All Southern California Geocaching? Shall it be they who hath found the greatest number of ye old caches? Shall it be they who find yonder cache first? Shall it be they who toil in endless pursuit of “Ode to the Simple Cache?” Or shall it be ye quiet, unassuming, sole who engageth in ye challenge for ye challenge sake.

It is but a simple task… to remove the sword from the Geocache. The most noble have tried… but in vain. Could you be of unknown royal blood? Throw down your gauntlet… and enter the crusade. Nobility is there for the taking and peasantry is the only consolation! However you must remember that nobility has its price. To pull the sword from the Geocache requires mental, spiritual, and physical preparation. For the title of “Southern California Geocaching King/Queen” must only be bestowed upon they that are truly deserving. To aid in this quest you must complete a series of crusades that serve to sharpen ones decisive nature, hone the intellect, and enlighten the spirit. Along the way you will discover the keys to your success.

The cache is a standard ammo can. Camouflaged of course. The cache contains the following:

  • Golf Ball
  • The obligatory Happy Meal Toy
  • Trek flexible “frisbee”
  • High priced trinket of unknown disposition (for all of you who bemoan the common trade items)
  • Broken toy (for all of you who like to trade for “sub par” items)
  • Helmet bag
  • HP 48 Calculator
  • Cartoon book
  • Mini Carabiner
  • Small Bottle of Shampoo
  • Log Book and Pencils
  • Additional Hints (Decrypt)
