Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the above-listed coordinates! However, it is within 1.5 miles of that location.

All of the following individuals are members of the Screen Actors Guild, but the Secret Actors Guild is so secret that even its members don't realize that they are members! Plus, they would have no idea why they are members... that's up to you to determine!

Orlando Bloom is in the Guild, but Johnny Depp is not.
Steve Buscemi is in the Guild, but Kevin Spacey is not.
Cliff Curtis is in the Guild, but Ray Liotta is not.
Nicole Kidman is in the Guild, but Katie Holmes is not.
Janet Leigh is in the Guild, but Kim Novak is not.
Jeffrey Wright is in the Guild, but Denzel Washington is not.

Now apply that rule to the individuals in the list below. Combine all of the offsets for Guild members, and apply those totals to the posted coordinates above. This will give you the actual cache location.

Container is a micro. Log-only, please bring your own writing instrument. Please be sure to replace the log inside the plastic bag and hide the container as well as you found it.

You can (and SHOULD) check your answers on Geochecker.com.

This should be a cache-and-dash for most folks. (Difficulty level is for the puzzle, not for the cache itself.) Expect muggles during daylight hours.

For an easier challenge, try " State of Confusion". For a harder challenge, try " Country Club".
