This is my 100th geocache hide! I wanted to combine a few of my favorite type of hides for this special cache. This hide includes a tree climb and a field puzzle, as well as a few new twists. This is an adventure cache! You should not go for this cache if any of the following are true:
- You are afraid of heights
- You are afraid of the dark
- You are afraid of spiders
- You are wearing shorts
- You melt if you get wet
- You don't have a flashlight
- You don't have long sleeves
- You are afraid of thornes
- You are afraid of ants
- You are not wearing a hat
Ok....you still here? Well then you have been warned. Let's get on with it.
All the stages are very close to each other but you might have to make a few trips between stages 2 & 3. You also might have to confront a few of your fears along the way.
Stage #1
Orignally this was just a two stage cache but I figured I would add this stage to help with parking. This stage should be quick and will let you know where to park. At the GZ there will be a couple signs that you will need to get numbers on to get the coords for stage 2.
Warning! Discharge of firearms prohibited by state law: S.B. ORD 6.0A.BCD
No Dumping of Refuse: S.B. ORD EFGH
Stage #2
COORDS: N37 37. e+2 g-2 a-3 W 122 26.b+2 d+7 h+1
Now the fun begins. These coords will take you down the hill to a path that will lead you to a stream. From here you will need to locate the next clue. You should be able to spot it from the trail but to get the info you will need to head down to the stream. Look for a container in a tree. Also take a look around while here, for you will find something that will be helpful later on. Once you climb the tree, there you will find two sets of numbers. Use the first set to get coords for North and use the second set to get coords for West. Take the first set of numbers and add 2326 to the numbers to get the North coords. Take the second set of numbers and subtrack 49331 to get the West coords
Stage #3
COORDS: N37 xx.xxx W122 xx.xxx
From here you are on your own. If you go above first, your life will be easier and you don't need any special tool besides a light. You should have all the info you need to sign the log. Yes, you need to sign the log! If you don't actually sign the log you can't log this cache as a find. Good luck.
Please return everything back to the same state as when you found it.
