This cache has been archived.

Pandemi: Sadly I am archiving this particular cache in the series. It is clearly a Dark Side hot spot which is too dangerous a location for humankind to loiter around. We Were Warned.

Geocache Description:


WE WERE WARNED...

If you have visited ‘The Tattoine Incident’ cache in Tatton Park nearby you will obviously appreciate the implications of what happened there on 14th February 1953. This related drive-by cache provides further evidence of how The Dark Side has developed The Device found on that night for more Earthly applications.

The cache is sited where, I believe, the very first example of an adaptation of The Device was installed for Earthly use many years ago. This seems appropriate given it’s proximity to the site of The Incident and the specific characteristics of the location it serves. The Device has been through many developments and adaptations over the years and here today you can see a more modern example of the technology. It is much modified and improved in comparison to the example you can still see in Tatton Park, however the principles remain the same.  The serial number visible at the base of The Device suggests it is indeed the first ever Earthly application of the technology and that the current model is the third adaptation at that particular site.  As is often the case The Device is located as one of a pair, with its partner visible a few hundred metres away but much less accessible for close-up inspection.

Approach The Device with care. Not only are your movements likely to be monitored by The Dark Side but it can go off without warning and result in deeply unpleasant consequences.  Those that do visit will see a large and exceptionally threatening green box next to The Device which makes a variety of intermittent and sinister noises.  My research indicates that this is an Earth monitoring station which has been placed here by The HA-HA's of Tattoine, probably on behalf of The Dark Side .  This area is clearly of exceptional importance to The Dark Side and the whole thing makes me feel very uneasy.

The cache is unfortunately only a micro and is situated a few metres away from The Device itself but you can park off the road and approach in safety for a closer inspection. I thought it was inappropriate to place a larger container as I am still in hiding from The Dark Side and placing a cache in this particular location will only serve to tweak the tail of a very sinister Force, so I do not wish to push my luck. Nevertheless, I will carry on undaunted with my mission to make Humankind aware of the work of The Dark Side.

Please take care when approaching this cache and do not stop on the main carriageway under any circumstances - make sure you pull into the 'lay-by' next to the cache site.

Ironically, the A556 is one of the busiest trunk roads in the UK and a quite rare example of where The Device has been used as a force for good, before it all got a bit out of hand. There are plans to build a by-pass around the village of Mere by means of a motorway link between the M6 and the M56. This will hopefully result in The Device in this particular location being assigned to the status of historical curiosity.

If you still aren't convinced that there are things going on that we should be seriously bothered about, then visit 'The Tattoine Incident: & What's Going On Here?!'  Here you will see evidence of another much larger Earth monitoring system and an abundance of mutant creatures.  I have recently adopted a cache at 'The Tattoine Incident: The Bongs' where there appears to be a Dark Side training facility.  Finally, the caches at the 'Tattoine Incident: Wormhole' and 'The Tattoine Incident: Wormhole Approach Beacon' will help explain why this part of the country seems to be of such great importance to The Dark Side.  You have every reason to be concerned. 

The latest addition to the series is 'The Tattoine Incident: Wherigo'.  This is a new interactive geocache which has been developed using the Wherigo system compatible with the Garmin Colorado and most GPS enabled PDA's.  The tour will take you around the original 3 stage multi-cache and provides you with additional information about Tatton Park and The Incident.  It culminates with an additional bonus cache which is logable.

Do take care. We Were Warned.
