We live in a Utopian existence on the surface of this world. In
the reality of geocaching, we are aware of things around us that
others do not know exist. These things we call geocaches are
everywhere... yet the muggles among us pass by them every day
without really seeing them. Often, muggles aren’t aware of the many
places in this world that geocaching takes us, even places in their
own backyards.
But how much do we really know about our world? Like the
muggles, unaware of our geocaching existence, we live our lives
unaware of the Morlocks who dwell underground in a troglodyte
civilization, maintaining ancient machines that they may or may not
remember how to build. Their only access to the surface world is
through a series of well structures that dot the countryside.
The Morlocks are humanoid creatures, said to have descended from
humans, but they have evolved into a completely different species,
said to be better suited to their subterranean habitat. They are
"almost antlike", slinking about silently during the night to catch
their prey.
You’ve seen these entrances before, but have you ever really
looked at them? Look closely and you will see a ladder going down
into the depths of the earth. As the Eloi have learned, these are
places to be avoided. Those who stray too close may never return.
Don’t worry, this treasure hunt won’t take you into the depths of
the earth; you won’t have to figure out the secret of the hatch;
you won’t have to climb down the ladder. You will, however, have to
explore this area if you are to find the jewel.
Be careful if you turn your back on the entrance. The bestial
Morlocks, who toil underground maintaining their machinery that
keeps the Eloi - their flocks - docile and plentiful, may appear
suddenly in search of food. Be careful, also, of attracting the
attention of the muggles. While it is unlikely that any will
stumble into this area, they are ill-prepared for what they might
find here.
This site is just the beginning... look around you at the vast,
unexplored regions; forests to the north, plains to the south,
lakes to the west. Enjoy your journey but be ever
vigilant.
