Real Gone | Dead and Lovely Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

seldom|seen: Putting one of my many maintenance challenging series to bed. This series contains some of my earliest puzzle creations, foreshadowing the plethora of S|S creations to follow.

As the years have progressed and my time and zeal for the sport has wained, so has the experience of the active geocache community, particularly when you work so hard to solve these puzzle and are then meet with unfulfilling and often unmaintained physical finals.

As tough as it is to let these go when I reflect on time and energy invested for the benefit of those who appreciated the same, I do have to accept that the experience created out of necessity to place a physical final (90% of my caches would be virtuals, if they were allowed to be) has soiled the experience once associated with finding log sheets to sign.

The S|S flag has been at half mast for a good half decade and it's time to take it down out of respect for the community. Thanks for finding these and your wonderful logs. This is the beginning of a long painful archiving process for hundreds of caches and I appreciate your patience and I put many to bad and ferret out those that I can continue to monitor and maintain.

If anybody is eager to adopt a series, feel free to PM me.

Geocache Description:

THIS IS A REFLECTION CACHE - IT IS MEANT TO HOLD ITEMS TO LOOK AT, NOT TO TRADE ------ PLEASE ADD TO THE CACHE, BUT TAKE NOTHING FROM IT.
Travel Bugs and Geocoins are welcome, provided there is room.

She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
world where that's no
problem at all

Everything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
will be gone

And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now



Another in the Real Gone series. This cache has been updated from its original description and is now a repository for "dead and lovely" relics as long as they are not dead and smelly ones (catch my drift?), dried wood with interesting curves, seeds with interesting shapes (although not necessarily dead), fossils from local quarries, whatever fits the description and is naturally preserved is fodder for this cache.

This cache contains bone fide flotsam that I collected off the shores of Costa Rica, specifically from the beaches at MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK. PLEASE LEAVE THESE ITEMS IN THE CACHE, which is located at N44°AB.CDE W88°FG.HIJ

When you get to the listed cords, you will see a large central monument which will provide answers to the following clues:
A: Number of figures "kneeling",
B: Number of "spikes" visible from the front,
C: Number of Disciples present, (according to John, but not John)
D: Number of figures looking in the direction of the central figure,
E: Number of letters above the central figure (/4).
F: Number of eyes cast upon the ground,
G: Total number of "clasped" hands,
H: Number of figures standing,
I: Total number of garments (not the same no. as figures),
J: Total number of hands "praying",

3.19.07 Update The initial waypoint container has proven to be less than sustainable and a bit too fragile to last. It is being repaired and will find its way to the final so it can join the other dead and lovely things to look at. The new container will be a bit more robust and should weather the seasons.

10.26.09 Update The Final cache has been moved, this listing updated to an offset (field solve) multi, and puzzle component added. ALL PREVIOUS FINDERS ARE WELCOME TO FIND IT AGAIN.

This cache is NOT ON cemetery grounds.
