Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the listed coordinates


I worked out this cache after spending the season as a caretaker at the Overlook Hotel. In my spare time, I worked on my novel, hundreds of pages, really, and I think it’s my best piece of work yet. I’ve posted an excerpt from it below, perhaps it will help you find what you’re looking for. And if you need any help, don’t be afraid to axe!

Best wishes!
Jack Torrance


Editor's note: We've been through this before - Unfortunate Caches are best left to those poor souls destined for aimless wandering in dark places. If you seek sunshine, Bambi-eyed deer and chirping robins, please, please leave this page in search of more verdant pastures - the happy Drumlin Amble cache is just a short drive away. If you must enter these grounds, heed the 9-9 hours, or simply circumambulate.

If you must insist on pursuing this ill-advised quest, check your answers at Geochecker.com.
