Geocache Description:


"The legend writ, the stain affected.
The key in Silence undetected.
Fifty-five in iron pen, Mr. Matlack can't offend"

Shaw: Prison.
Riley Poole: Albuquerque. See I can do it too. Snorkel.
Shaw: That's where the map is. Like he said, "Fifty-five in iron pen." "Iron pen" is a prison.
Ben Gates: Or it could be, since the primary writing medium of the time was iron gall ink, the "pen" is... just a pen. But then why not say a pen? Why... why say "iron pen"?
Shaw: 'Cause it's a prison.

This cache contains a log sheet. To find another digit in the coordinates for Cache-ional Treasure #7: The Treasure Room, take the number that appears in the lens of the cache container and add 1 to it.

I sincerely apologize to the descendents of Timothy Matlack, fans of the SNL "Shimmer" sketch, fans of Andy Griffith in whatever role, and anyone else who is offended by the liberties I took with the picture on this page. 8-)

The Laser/LED light pen and FTF honors go to CardWatcher and lil' CardFan. Congratulations!
