A gift to all of the local geocaching members. This Adventure is
four months in the making and is unlike any of the caches out
there. This is a six-part puzzle cache and it's great for kids.
There is some information to go over before you grab your backpack
and head out:
1. This cache is not about swag, so no need to bring any trade
items. There isn't alot of room in the containers for a bunch of
stuff. The only exceptions would be small travel bugs and geocoins
just to keep them moving. Besides, who really needs more Happy Meal
toys?
2. There are 6 total stages (although there have been confirmed
sightings of a "bonus" 7th stage). Do not expect to complete the
whole thing in one day, unless you have a lot of time and a laptop
with a wireless internet connection.
3. Each stage consists of a Lock N’ Lock container with
envelopes inside. In the first five stages, your envelope will have
two items enclosed; a puzzle page and a small card. Please only
take one envelope per “Geocaching Member” account. In other words,
if you have a family of five, do not take 5 envelopes, unless all
five have their own “Geocaching Member” accounts. There are a
limited number of supplies, and we want the most members possible
to enjoy this adventure.
4. The puzzle page has a puzzle that, when solved, will give you
coordinates to the next stage. The puzzles are fairly easy. If
you’d like to verify your answers, send an email with the stage
number and your answer. You may even get a hint for the next stage,
if you’re right.
5. The small cards are very important. You cannot find the final
cache without them. Each card has a series of numbers on the back
that will make perfect sense when you find stage five.
6. Please log each stage of this cache at geocaching.com using
the “note” feature to log in your progress. Save the “found it”
until you have found stage six (final stage).
7. This is an experiment of sorts to see if a cache of this type
can work and to see if it is enjoyed by our fellow cachers. If
everyone enjoys this cache adventure, maybe we will do a bigger and
better one for next year, so we would like your feedback on what
can be changed or improved. Feel free to email us.
8. Have fun and enjoy all of the locations.
9. The coordinates above are the actual coordinates for Stage 1.
This is your only "gimmie". Now, let's get cracking!
