This cache was created for ONE reason, and one reason alone…to stump BeDoggy! (although ALL cachers are welcome to participate!)
For too long now, I’ve had to read about his successes…finding caches before I could…using MY ideas before I could! It drives a man wild…WILD, I tell you! Muahahahahahahaha!
…Ok, forget that last part.
But it’s true, I wanted to create a cache that would stump and mystify this Chilliwack cacher…I know it took him a few tries to solve my “Island 22 Cache”. But since that one got plundered, it no longer exists to haunt him, as he lays awake at nights, pondering which cache to seek next.
Aside from that one, most of my caches are usually “go to” types…and those present no challenge for this tenacious cacher…So I’m through playing “nice”…this one’s going to be tough, and there will be NO CLUES! Well…hardly any!
The DOG will be playing a tricky game of DEJA VU to solve this cache.
…and if he thinks he’s going to get this done in one afternoon, he’s kidding himself!
“Well,” you say, “if it’s so tough…What makes you think that he will bother looking for it?”
…Easy! I have the sort of treat that he can’t resist: a FIRST to FIND Certificate!
Even though it is the MINI-version…It’s the ultimate tease…A veritable Milk-Bone for this dog…
The co-ordinates listed are to the first part of the cache…but there is no container to seek at this first location. Trust your feelings Doggy, and remember the lessons you have learned!
From this first location, you will glean information to a set of NEW co-ordinates that will take you to location number TWO…and so on…READ the directions CAREFULLY...a missed or misinterpreted instruction will send you miles off-course...read carefully!
Oh, by the way…bring a lunch……….Muahahahahahahahahahaha!
To start this hunt, you must go to the object at the above co-ordinates…do you recognize this place?
It is part of my AROUND CHILLIWACK MOUNTAIN cache…in fact, it’s the BEGINNING!
On this object, you will see some dates just as you did before. Now, take the FIRST DATE that you find to be in the 20th Century…subtract 95, then divide by 14 and call the result XXX.
Since you are familiar with the AROUND CHILLIWACK MOUNTAIN Cache, you should proceed directly to the large natural object that marks the END of that particular hunt. While you’re at it, check the condition of the cache; then stand on the roadside with your back to this large, natural object. Now, project a waypoint (I told you this would take a while…I know that “the Doggy” has to go back home to do projections…Muahahahahaha!), bearing XXX° TRUE at a distance of 7787 meters.
When you arrive at these NEW co-ordinates, face NORTH…The direction you must travel should be obvious. Follow this path until you encounter the first FORK, take the left fork and follow it along until the first switchback. Stand in this switchback and face NORTH again. About 15m from your position is a very LARGE cedar with a hollow base.
BEHIND this large cedar is a grouping of 4 or 5 deciduous trees with a reflector mounted about 3m from ground level (just in case you’re burning daylight at this point in time!). On the BACKSIDE, in the ground at the base of this group is a small pill-bottle with further instructions…follow them precisely! The pill-bottle is transparent, so you can read the instructions without opening it. Remember to RE-HIDE this clue carefully, I don’t want a repeat of my LAST multi! The NEXT part of this hunt needs to be done at NIGHT, but keep an eye on your watch…tic, toc Doggy…tic, toc!
Follow the instructions to this new destination…park nearby and move to that structure.
Stand on the button and face South. Project a waypoint 470m bearing 220° TRUE.
Follow the path that travels along the East Side, to this waypoint.
Warning: There can be wild animals roaming these parts…be wary…especially at night!
“What’s this?” you say, “Where am I now? I have reached the destination…but I don‘t see anything, and I am NOT going up there!”
There is nothing here…but take a seat and have a short rest. Hopefully, you have brought your trusty flashlight. Shine it along the imaginary line, bearing 258° Magnetic…You DID remember to bring your compass as well, didn’t you?
You should see a reflector in the distance…if not, just follow this bearing until the reflector comes into view. Continue moving towards this reflector. When you reach it, shine your light around you…you should see three other reflectors in the vicinity. Now, position yourself so that you are in the middle…equidistant from EACH of these four reflectors (give or take a few feet) and MARK this position as Waypoint ABC.
From Waypoint ABC, project another waypoint bearing 228° TRUE at a distance of 12565 m.
Now go home...it's late, and you can finish this quest tomorrow. I hope there's nobody AHEAD of you...
When you reach this new destination, you should be standing at the top of a set of stairs. Don’t linger too long here, there COULD BE traffic! From these stairs, project another waypoint 262° TRUE at a distance of DEF meters where:
D = The number that (according to Three Dog Nite) is “the loneliest number that you’ll ever do…”
E = The cube-root of 216.
F = Number of “maids a milking…”
Park at this set of co-ordinates and project a beam of light to the West. You should see a tree with a reflector, about 20m in. The cache is about 3m East of this tree, covered in twigs and leaves, at the base of a large rock. Cache is a Peanut Butter jar, painted black and stuffed into a garbage bag. Please re-hide carefully!
The last portion of this hunt has NO PATH, so be careful where you step! Small children should not try to do this last part!
Note:
I have PURPOSELY added a few twists to this cache so that it could NOT be done entirely with mapping software, from the comfort of one’s home. This cache WILL require that you get out and about…the whole idea behind this “sport”, isn’t it? Once BeDoggy has found the cache, I will add a few more “clues” that would otherwise have given it away.
When entering notes in THIS log, please try to avoid giving away clues. Spoilers will be deleted.
