I'm not terribly fond of binary. Yes, I know I have used it, but
I've never been too happy about it. Usually, when I see a string of
binary, I want to curl up into the fetal position.
Then, late one night, not long ago, when I could not sleep, I
was surfing the net and stumbled upon a large string of binary
data. It was like nothing I had seen before. I was fixed to my
screen. I wanted to flee, but found that I could not turn away.
After I managed to close my gapping jaw, I returned, again and
again to the data, and discovered that somehow I understood it all.
I looked, deeper and deeper into the code and information appeared
before my eyes from what seemed to be chaos. With each new line, I
found more and more information layered in the binary. Whole new
realms emerged from all of those ones and zeros.
What did I find in that binary? Coordinates, of course. The
coordinates to a lush tract of land where the flora and fauna
flourish and people are few. Peer deep into this data and you too
will be changed.
In order to make the text look presentable, I was forced to
format it for this page. I found the data as a simple text string.
Here
is a link to that document.
This cache will require a fair amount of route finding and bush
whacking. There are three or four good starting points, all of
which require about the same amount of effort. For those not
comfortable with finding your way off trail, I'd recommend bringing
along a friend. Original contents included some geocoins and pins,
a couple of kites, a fishing pole, a fly swatter, an ammo can, log
book and pen.
Special thanks to R of TrekkingTurtles for beta testing this
