Geocache Description:

To log this cache you MUST LIE! All TRUTHS will be DELETED!! That’s no lie… Landsharkz BIG FAT LIAR cache is for STRETCHING THE TRUTH, FIBS, UNTRUTHS; enjoy the opportunity to spin your biggest and most outrageous caching tale. Embellish your caching adventure in whatever fashion you choose and to your heart's content while at the same time entertaining kindred spirits and like-minded geo-folks. Don't be modest. Don't be shy. Tell a whopper. Tell a lie.

To give credit where credit is due, we got this idea from an event coin we designed for a client in New Jersey who we believe got the idea from yet another cache. This is so unoriginal, but devilishly fun!


About this cache
This cache is actually an 18 part multi cache. You'll start at the given coords, which will take you half way up a giant cliff face. This position is actually on private property, and you may wish to wear cammo attire and bring a shot-gun to fend off the pack of wild rabid guard dogs that protect the entrance. Whitebear found the dogs to be pretty tame, after fighting off the 'gators while fording the moat.

The next few stages will have you wandering through the Kludahk area which, as we found when we hid the cache, is still inhabited by prehistoric beasts. Bear bells will do you no good here. Rifle blasts will send them into a fit of rage, so you're best defence is swords and pointed sticks.

Stage 9 is so well hidden, it may take you days to find it. The safest spot to camp is at the entrance to the cougar den... The bones you'll see there are from past cachers that lost their minds during bouts of insanity brought on by the incessant howling of the starving hyenas. Ickster once went comatose here after a cloud of sulphurous gas sucked the oxygen from his lungs and left him for dead... he was prompted back to life as the vultures were gnawing at his eyes! He's ok now, but suffered an amnesiac bout and doesn't remember any of it... lucky for him :)

Stage 10 is one of Spud's nano's hidden 863 meters into a cave... bring spelunking gear, and watch out for the underwater river that winds between the lairs of sleeping grizzlies. You may want to read old Aquaman comics to learn about the super powers you will need in order to find this stage. X-ray vision would be an asset here too. You won't need to bring a flashlight as the lava flows will illuminate your way.

The final stages are not as bad as the first few. If you've made it this far, the swarms of killer bees and malaria ridden 'skitters will seem like a piece of cake. There is a small band of people living near stage 13. They have been in this area since 1944 and think that the war is still on. They are very skittish, and have a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. When you find the cache, you will see that it is locked with a puzzle so complex that it would take an Unseen Baloney Riot a week to solve. You really don't have a hope... but if you do manage to break into the giant's lair, walk the tightrope over the cavern, and scale the outer slope of the Partridge Glacier, then you will find a broken cache container that has a bunch of useless trinkets, a wet log book, and no writing implement. Careful, it has sharp edges... watch-out for the leg-hold traps hidden under the nearby leaf-litter.
