Quest for Gold - GEOMOE 1K Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Keystone: I just noticed that the owner of this cache has an inactive account, and cannot receive email notifications. Therefore, I'm going ahead and archiving the cache page.

The good news is, the path is now cleared for the publication of a new cache in the near future, which was in conflict with one of the stages of this formerly awesome multicache.

Geocache Description:


This gold ammo can has been placed in honor of 2 Guys Named Moe and George1’s 1000th cache found on March 21, 2009. Congratulations to the dynamic trio (GEOMOE) for their #1000 milestone!

Mountain Cowboys have come back from retirement to place this cache in their honor. Moe2 and George seemed to enjoy our first cache so much that we decided to commemorate their #1000 milestone with a little stroll down memory lane.

The Two Guys Named Moe started Geocaching in April of 2006.

The Two Guys Named Moe” width=

They picked the name “2 Guys Named Moe” because:
1. Billy (now Moe2) is a Three Stooges fan and actually met them and had his picture taken with them as a child.
2. Billy's brother (entertainer: Vinnie Vegas) has performed with Five Guys Named Moe.
3. Billy said Moe is always in charge and they both wanted to be in charge.
4. Jean (Moe1) looked up the word 'guy' in the urban dictionary on the web and verified that guy can mean "It's just the way to call people, no matter what they are guy or girl". After reading that, Jean was satisfied that it was ok to use the word 'guy' in their caching name.
5. Billy came up with the name 2 Guys Named Moe and Jean wanted to give Billy the illusion that he was in charge so she agreed to the name.

They are one of the few that have made the commitment and completed the Pennsylvania Delorme Challenge. They also have put out several nice “must do” multi-caches in the State College area. They are challenging. Please check out:

George1 started Geocaching on October 2002.

George1.” width=

He is a retired Washington DC Fire Fighter, and now is a part time painting contractor. George is quite the woodsman and for over 10 years has hiked and maintained sections of the Quehanna Trail. Geocaching has taken him to some of the greatest places in Pennsylvania. He'll tell you the best thing about Geocaching is the Friends he has made. There is no way he would have ever come into contact with the eclectic and zany bunch of characters he has met except for Geocaching. George is known for his wilderness hides that take you to something of interest in Penn’s Woods. Please check out these fine hides:

Earth Elemental II by George1 (GC11Z74)
Wild Cranberries by George1 (GC1BB17)
Viaduct Bridge - Formerly Stoney Lonesome by George1 (GCXM0K)
3 Falls Cache by George1 (GCJE4P)
Yost Ridge Vista by George1 (GC11Z8C)

Moe2 and George1 are also known for their spreading of good cheer. When those two get together, nothing good can come of it. Some of their finest work has involved the deposit of a full size porcelain toilet at various fellow cachers’ residences and more recently a full size outhouse. These “hits” make such nice lawn ornaments.

This multicache is to commerorate the dynamic trio's #1000 milestone. This will require considerable driving to complete and may put the cacher into a few situations that the cacher may not feel comfortable with. If a stage bothers you, please back away and choose another cache to complete. (This cache may not be for everybody.) Extreme stealth may be required in a couple stages. The final stage is located on State Game Lands, so please wear safety orange during hunting seasons. Also, some special equipment not normally found in a cache bag may be required to complete this.

Enjoy this fine tribute to the Two Guys Named Moe and George1.

Please refrain from completing this cache until the Dynamic Trio gets their honorary First to Find on it. Thank You.

Special Equipment May Be Required” width=
Reminder: Brainstorming and special equipment may be required to complete all the stages.
Good Luck and Be Safe!
