*************************************
Exactly 26 months ago, Droid Probe #44 was deployed on a highly sensitive mission to observe the operations of Earth Angel, an under-boss of Jabba the Hutt. Jabba the Hutt, a Hutt crime lord and gangster who employs a retinue of criminals, bounty hunters, smugglers, assassins, and bodyguards to operate his criminal empire, had placed Earth Angel at the head of an underground Imperial operation to infiltrate a fledgling Rebel trade alliance that was threatening the Hutt crime families dominant position in the Dnebtsew province. At first, Jabba the Hutt was please with the frequent and productive reports from his under-boss. However, these reports became highly suspect shortly after Earth Angel opened up a pickle storage facility she named “ScarFace!” Multiple Imperial raids, based on the intelligence provided through this cover operation, ended up leading only to remote dead end roads. Hidden in guard-rails at the end of these roads, Imperial agents discovered cryptic lists of individuals with taunting messages like “TFTC” (The Free Trade Consortium). However, the true identities of these Consortium rebels are unknown to the Empire.
A trusted bodyguard, with a cover identity of “The Professor,” was sent by Jabba to determine the identities of the rebels. The Professor was also tasked with determining Earth Angel’s loyalty to Jabba and the Empire. If he deemed her less than fully loyal, her services to the Empire were to be “ended with extreme prejudice." Droid Probe #44 was sent to receive reports from The Professor and was to make initial contact at a place called “ylimE Woods” by the local inhabitants. However, Droid Probe #44’s transmission protocol was never initiated and Jabba suspects The Professor has been turned to the rebel cause by the ever resourceful, and seductive, Earth Angel.
Shortly after, the ScarFace cover business was closed (“archived”) and the secret location of this operation was lost to the Empire. Thankfully, a rather dimwitted loner of unknown loyalties (3 Hawks) stumbled across the buried remains of Earth Angel’s former base of operations. Deep within, 3 Hawks discovered Droid Probe #44 and the master list of rebel Consortium members (ScarFace log book). By uncovering Droid Probe #44, the probe’s transmission protocol was initiated and the Empire now knows both the location of Earth Angel’s former base of operations and the master list of Consortium members. As you can guess, the Empire and Jabba the Hutt would like to get their hands on this list before the upcoming meeting of Consortium members ($1,000 Cache Ba$h).

The cache is located in the Cedar Lakes Conservation and limited off road parking provided within a few hundred feet of the cache. Parking may be a little tricky in the winter. Look for the Cedar Lakes Conservation sign!
You are hunting for a medium sized pill bottle. It is not located in the exact location of the now archived cache, but it is close enough to simply use the same coords. Inside, you will find the log book recovered from “ScarFace!” Go ahead and add your name to the Consortium member list. Those who already signed the log will need to revisit and resign the log since this is a new cache.
Depending upon your approach, there is about a 4 foot slope at ground zero.
The FTF will go to the Consortium member who signs the log book directly below the log left by me (3 Hawks) on 4-11-09.
Happy hunting!!
