The Deadly Sins are a series of caches to help you regain a part
of your lost soul. What’s that, you ask? You didn’t realize you
were missing a piece? Sorry to inform that you are, but help is
close at hand. Whether you admit it or not (and you can, if you
want, in the logbook or online log), I believe we have all
experienced at least one of these sins in the process of geocaching
(for some of us, perhaps more than one. Not that I know anything
about that).
Envy
Ah, envy. Ever see someone else with a GPS that you want? Or how
about a better PDA, caching vehicle or internet capable cell phone?
Maybe it’s not even a piece of technology, but noticing that some
others cachers just have seemingly endless amounts of time to find
caches every day. Or are better puzzle solvers than you. Or just
seem to make more memorable hides? Now that I think about it, I
hope this series is memorable.
Now, the cache itself has nothing specifically to do with envy,
Perhaps the effort of finding the cache will help you appreciate
what you have accomplished, caching-wise.
About the cache:
Park at the end of Panthorn Trail (cul-de-sac) N41 37.935 W072
55.495. Trail starts to the right of the hedges, going between the
houses and passing by a blue and black shed. You’ll be following
the Steep Climb Trail of the blue blazed Tunxis Trail. Are there
views? Sorta, but not really. That's what the other Lake Compounce
caches are for. Stage 1 is a waterproof match holder and the final
is only small lock 'n' lock. The terrain is 4 because of the
steepness/rockiness of the trail and that you’ll be going off trail
for both stages. Difficulty is a bit high because it’s a multi, gps
reception can be poor in the area and the containers are on the
small side. Hints are pretty specific, since I want people to find
cache and wasn’t intending to make anything particularly evil. Not
to say the cache is easy, just a bit on the side of physically
demanding.
Each of the Deadly Sins has a code on the inside front cover
of the logbook and on the inside cover of the cache container. You
must take note of the code to truly become
Virtuous and retrieve the part of your soul that is
lost.
