Cacher's Guide to Romance!
Sometimes the long trail can get lonely, and you need someone to
make the find with you. Maybe you have someone. Maybe you're still
looking? Maybe you wish you could hide the one you've got? No
problem! Welcome to the "Cacher's Guide to Romance!" In this cache
you will learn some of the basic skills of Life, Love and
Alliteration!
Your first step should be to go to the listed coordinates. No, they
won't take you to a cache, but they will take you to a local
establishment perfect specializing in sweet things. If you're
interested, start this cache between the hours of 6:30am-4pm M-F or
6:30am-2pm on Saturdays. You do not have to enter, but doing so
will make this a much more delicious adventure (and it can help
your relationships too!)
Lesson 1: Listening to the signs
90% of all communication is non-verbal. So if you're trying to
decide if someone would be willing to join you on the trail (Or is
fed up with your being on the trail,) then you need to read the
signs. Practice by reading the signs at the posted coords. Here is
a small quiz to take to test your sign reading skills.
A) Vertical word on a cup
B) The "state" of the "place" across the street
C) What's this street again?
D) _______ & _________
E) It's brick! It's stucco! It's __________!
F) Ciao is __ __________!
G) Do not ______
Lesson B: Drawing a conclusion
Now that you've read the signs, you need to draw a conclusion from
what you've read. Relationships are also about problem solving.
Count the number of letters in each of the answers to solve the
problems below.
North = {[(D*A)-(G*B)]-(F+E)}
West = [((-C*F)-A)+C]
Special hint: If you add all of the answers for A through G you
should get a two digit number. If you add the two digits together,
you should get the number "9".
Lesson Kappa: Taking it in Stages
Every relationship is made up of a string of experiences. Each
experience is either a positive experience or a negative
experience. These little steps along the way are neccessary to weed
out unwanted frienships like leeches, stalkers and serial killers.
A good example of this is the answer you have from your last
excerise. Apply that experience to your original coordinates and
begin your journey. (This first step will take you about 300 feet
away from the posted coordinates but your total journey including
all of the stages should take you just under 2 miles through some
fine downtown date locations and relational saving shops. Parking
is available at each spot, but I suggest walking. Take your time
and enjoy it!)
Lesson IV: The Ritual of Relationships
Every relationship has its own set of rituals that have been setup
during the stages it has gone through. Practice going through some
rituals. When you get to the final, perform these rituals:
1) Approach with Stealth
2) Sign the log
3) Choose to take something
4) Choose to leave something
5) Cover better than you found
Special Note
No matter what you do, it boils down to knowing the relationship,
listening and responding. Sometimes quality time can be on an urban
hike for a picnic like this one. Sometimes it means hanging up the
reciever for a day and (I know, there goes your caching streak
!) staying home! It may mean gifts,
compliments, chores, or just listening... What matters most is
people... even more than the next cache.
The views expressed in this cache do not represent the views of
anyone, anywhere, under any circumstances. This was found on a
flier in the middle of Harrisburg. Any responses can be sent to
"And Wife" as "That Fedora Guy" is currently on the trail working
on his caching streak.
