Finding
Fraggle Rock and SerenityNow Present:
Murder, Mayhem, and Intrigue
Collide!
The most unique Geocaching event you'll ever
attend!
We
have recently been contacted by a small town Sheriff's Department in regards to
the mysterious death of a Miss Howe, a prominent citizen, and the disappearance
of her most precious heirloom. They have requested the assistance of the
geocaching community to help locate the clues, unravel the mystery, and close
the case. On this most dangerous mission, your only weapons will be a GPSr and
your powers of observation. We are certain that in the mighty world of
geocaching one team will stand victorious in unraveling.....

No less than 2 players per team. In fact, we suggest that
you have 3 or 4 players. It's ok to have 5 or 6 players if you'd like.... as
long as you all fit in the vehicle! You'll want a driver of course, a
navigator, and a clue master.

Don't have a team? Come anyway and we'll be sure you get in
a vehicle with the friendliest bunch of geocachers ever!

Be on time so you don't miss one single piece of

Decide which team members are in charge of which game
aspects as you are awaiting instructions.

The briefing
will begin PROMPTLY at 12:35 PM.
