YES! This is the long awaited sequel to the legendary TUBE
TORCHER… While similar in some ways to TUBE TORCHER, this Geocache
hunt is like no other you will ever encounter. Before you go you
will need to know a few things about the hunt itself and the
environment(s) that this hunt takes place in.
Below is what we think the TRUE rating for this cache should
be... Therefore, YOU ARE WARNED!!! :-)
THE HUNT: This is a multi-stage Geocache hunt… you will begin by
visiting one place where you will find a “clue.” This “clue” will
lead you through several other challenging excursions in which you
will be gathering clues, training and experience in preparation for
the conclusion of the hunt.
THE CONCLUSION: CLASSIFIED… This is for you to find out for
yourself!
SPECIAL NOTES: This hunt will cover some ground and time—it can
be completed in 2 days… or less if you are made of steel and have
quicksilver for blood. Due to the strenuous nature of this hunt, we
do recommend that you DO NOT GO ALONE! NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS
CACHE IN GROUPS OF MORE THAN 4 OR 5 PEOPLE! DOING SO WILL ATTRACT
MORE ATTENTION THAN YOU WILL WANT TO DEAL WITH! If you are afraid
or unsure of: heights, darkness, various wildlife like spiders,
snakes, raccoons, beavers, rodents, birds, bats, bees, getting
dirty, wet, cold, scratched/bit by briers/wildlife, bruised, tired,
hungry and/or possibly lost—then you should seriously reconsider
going on this Geocache hunt. One or more of the above elements WILL
happen to you on this hunt. However, if you are comfortable with
uncertainty and you thrive for the challenge and don’t mind QUITE A
BIT of discomfort then this is the Geocache hunt for you! If you do
decide to take on this challenge, your experience will be one you
will ALWAYS remember. GOOD LUCK!!

FIRST AID KIT
