Background
ep·ic adj. 1. Surpassing the usual or ordinary,
particularly in scope or size.
2. Heroic and impressive in quality
So what is the E.P.I.C. event and what purpose does it
serve?
I began caching in December of 2005. As I attended my first few
events I started hearing stories about certain caches again and
again. After talking to experienced cachers and doing lots of cache
log and forum reading I came to discover another class of
caches.
First there were those caches that stood out above the rest. The
ones that you could tell people had put a lot of thought or effort
into. These caches could range from short to long or easy to hard.
However the cache itself always leaves you with a feeling of
accomplishment or awe when finished.
Then there are those caches that you see and you just know you
have to do. These aren’t the cache and dash type, these are the
kind that take hours maybe even days of planning. The ones that you
know will challenge your abilities both mentally and physically.
These are the caches talked about with wonder by those that haven’t
done them and with pride by those that have.
And finally there are the caches that are so sick, so devious,
so totally insane they have only been done by the rarest of cacher.
Or by those that band together and spend days and perhaps weeks of
thought and teamwork into getting a single cache.
I believe I have gathered together a good variety of caches
whose type I have described above. Hopefully this event will
introduce a new perspective on caching for those who haven’t
experienced anything but the norm. Motivate those who have been
itching to get out and try some harder more challenging caches but
just have not gotten around to it. And bring out the seasoned
veterans to share their stories and maybe hint at new ideas.
The
Challenge
Finish the six Geocaches listed below. Inside the log of each cache
will be an E.P.I.C. code. Plug the code in its corresponding
location to find the true waypoint of the event.
A: "24" Episode 24
B: Psycho Urban Cache #7 - A Good Day to Die
C: eXtreme Offroad Cache

X: The Revenge Of Team
Psycho #2 -

Final Coordinates =

W077 35.2YZ
ATTENTION previous cache finders: If you wish to have a code
E-Mailed to you of a cache you have previously found, please E-Mail
me. After verifying your find I will be glad to E-Mail you the
code.
The
Picnic
The picnic will be held on September 08 2007 at a private
residence. There is available on street and limited off street
parking for the picnic. Start time will be noon and food will be
served at 1pm. All food will be provided but it is “BYOD” (bring
your own drink), we will have ample bottled water and tea however.
The current menu items will be:
Hamburgers
Cheeseburgers
Turkey Burgers
Nathan’s Hotdogs
Bush’s Baked Beans
A Vegetable Tray
And Ben N Jerry’s Ice Cream Cones for desert!
All attendees will receive a door prize and there will be a free
raffle drawing for prizes including 2 unactivated travel bugs and
some other geocache related items.
Important
Notes
You may notice that two of the six caches (Extreme Offroad Cache
3 and Revenge of Team Psycho 2) are not published at this time. It
was my intention to have three new and three previously published
caches as a requirement. However caches such as these are not the
type that can be placed at the drop of a hat. Truly great caches of
this caliber take months of preparation and coordinating. My cache
LOST was in planning for about 18 months, and even after publishing
I had to make two maintenance runs to work out the kinks.
It is not my intent to rush the placing of any cache in anyway,
therefore I have filled in their codes in the final
coordinates.
As an added bonus I will give people credit for any three caches of
their choice if they find or have found:
Psycho Urban Cache #13 - Impossible! Give Up
Now!
Think of it as a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
Special thanks to Geeklove2778, Maxboost1998, Vinny and Sue Team,
