Geocache Description:

The Mendon Ponds Liar’s Cache is for telling whoppers, lies, fibs, untruths and all those other things we wish we could do on a more regular basis. Feel free to enhance your cache adventure however you would like when reporting your find. The best logs will be referenced in the cache description so all can enjoy. (To give credit where credit is due, I got this idea from a geocoin which was a liars coin (which I believe the owner got the idea from yet another cache)).

This cache is hidden in a completely inaccessible portion of the park. In order to access the cache, you will need to bring professional climbing gear, white water boats, spelunking gear, and extreme cold weather gear. It is advisable to bring shotguns (*) to take down the mosquitoes that are the size of small dogs and come in swarms capable of sucking the entire blood supply from a cow in less than ten minutes. Depending on your level of immunity to tropical diseases, you may wish to wear a full chemical/radiological/biological contamination suit. You will need to be comfortable sleeping in the wild as it may take several days of stomping through wild boar infested underbrush in order to find this cache. I would recommend bringing supplemental oxygen or learning to breathe really deep before attempting this cache.

Upon reaching the cache location, you will be bedeviled by the cunningly hidden cache. It will most likely take days of searching sheer cliff faces and underground streams (Did I remember to mention that you may want to bring SCUBA gear?). It would take Superman with his X-Ray vision and the support of blood hounds hours to find the cache -- it is that well hidden. (As a side note, Superman's ability to fly would serve you well also.)

Once you find the cache, you will find that it has been locked with a puzzle so complex that only a Quantum Computer could solve it in less than a week. Upon opening the cache, you will find that it is filled with useless trinkets and a soggy log book with no writing implements.

Good luck, you will need it.


Please be kind and replace the cache and surroundings as you found them.

*** (!!! Please Note: It is actually quite illegal to bring any sort of firearm into a county park (which Mendon Ponds is) or federal park in NYS for any reason!!! )


Starting immediately, I will delete any log finding the cache that does not contain at least a hint of a lie.
