This container was first used as an underground atomic bomb
shelter in the 1950's. Note the sign that says, 'Turn out
lights'.
On May 2, 1960, it was used once as a California execution
chamber.
In 1973, it was brought up to the surface and used as a bomb
explosion chamber by law enforcement agencies.
In 1979, it was hauled to a large freighter ship and used as a
giant washing machine. It was returned, very clean, in 1981.
From 1982 through 1993, Fred T. Plooper, previously a
professional stamp collector turned local bum, as they referred to
him in those days, made it his home.
But nobody really knew what it was, or where it came from, until
now. I will tell you. You will be the first to know. It is a
whirling Time Machine.
Approximately, 823 years ago, after traveling in the 47th
dimension through the primordial ooze of over 30,047 planets, 2
universes, and 14,747 time frequencies, I crash landed on Earth. It
just happened to be my 12,000th birthday. Upon crashing, I opened
the chamber door, climbed to the top and tried to turn the winder,
which is the bunt cake look-alike cylinder you see at the top. Hard
as I tried, I could not wind it. End of story. I have been here
ever since!
These coordinates are not the coordinates to The Time Machine
cache. Instead, they are the coordinates to benchmark #JS1009,
which you can go and collect a benchmark credit for if you
wish.
TO GET THE COORDINATES TO THE TIME MACHINE: The only way to get
to the Time Machine cache is to travel through time. What else
would you expect? To follow the path of the Time Machine, you must
enter the time logs of specific cache sites in www.geocaching.com
starting with the first clue given below. Look for the words 'Time
Machine Log' in the various cache logs. Each log will give you a
clue or tell you where the Time Machine goes next. If you can't
solve the clue, do what all time travelers do to get to their
destinations..... cheat. You can cheat by reading the 'HYPERLINK'
which will give you the exact answer to the clue. (We can't risk
anyone being stuck in time just because they are a little dim.)
Besides, some of the clues are just plain ridiculous. The Time
Machine will make 8 stops taking you into the past and into the
future. To get the coordinates of the actual Time Machine cache,
string together the numbers on the Hyperlinks. TO GET THE
COORDINATES OF THE ACTUAL TIME MACHINE CACHE, JUST STRING TOGETHER
THE DIFFERENT NUMBERS YOU SEE NEXT TO THE WORD, 'HYPERLINK', but I
repeat myself. So pack your bags and enter this fun and exciting
adventure.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your will is up to date and bring a
toothbrush.
DO NOT: Please do not put notes on other cache sites visited in
relation to the Time Machine Cache. Put all notes and logs relating
to The Time Machine cache on The Time Machine cache pages only. It
is only appropriate to put logs or notes on other cache sites if
you are actually going after those particular caches. The owners
don't want logs or notes about someone else's cache sites, even if
its for The Time Machine. I have talked to each owner and received
permission to put a Time Travel Note on their site.
WARNING...DANGER! DANGER! Please do not try to pry open the door
of the Time Machine. My private belongings are in there. It still
has 37 to 47 thousand whirls in it. If it starts to bounce up and
down and makes a wheezy sound, you can say good-bye to everything
you know and I will probably be stuck on earth forever. The cache
is not inside.
THE FIRST CLUE: Set your time machine dial to the year 2002 and
go to the day Kimbo Returned and Jeo had to stand in a corner.
NOTE: This series of adventures and the paths of the Time
Machine may change from time to time because so many people will be
using the time machine to visit these logs and they may screw
things up by playing with dials and controls they are not supposed
to and because......well, you know....this is a time
machine.....and they cause change.
ALIEN UPDATE: For more information about the Time Traveler, see
