Geocache Description:

The published coordinates will not take you to the cache site. The cache is a magnetic key box. You must use Google Earth and your cyphering skills to get the correct coordinates. You must faithfully follow the instructions of the Augur to learn the knowlege of the Alien Eye, stand in awe of the Tower of Anon, and discover the cache site.

The Alien Eye is watching and the Tower of Anon is awaiting your presence. You will stand in awe as the dark birds of prey circle the tower looking for carrion to feast upon. Some of the dark birds may even be sitting on the Tower of Anon and watching you with a hungry eye. You may even find some feathers of these birds around the cache site. But be careful. Do not become victims of the birds or muggles. To further the mystery, you can determine the origins of Anon's name as you make you way through the curving paths to the great and ancient tower. Stay low so that the all seeing Alien Eye does not discover you and send the birds to interrupt your quest.

Before you can discern the way to the Tower of Anon, you must seek the knowlege of the Alien Eye. The Alien Eye is constantly watching the Tower and holds the secret to the way to the cache. To be able to learn the knowlege of the Alien Eye, you must consult the Augur of Google Earth. The Augur will now tell you how to unlock the secrets of the mysterious way to the Tower of Anon. You must follow his instructions carefully or you will be lost and the birds may get you.

The Augur says: You must take Google Earth and fly to Orlando, Florida. From Orlando, you must move southeast to these coordinates - N 28 22.300 W 081 04.700. (The coordinates in Google Earth must be displayed in Degrees, Decimal Minutes. To set this, go to the menu bar, click on Tools and click on Options on the drop down menu. On the 3D tab, click the radio button for Degrees, Decimal Minutes. Click OK) Google Earth Coordinates are in the lower left of the window. In the lower right corner, you will see eye altitude. Zoom down to 500 feet at the given coordinates. You will be able to see the Alien Eye as you zoom down. Place your cursor in the center of the iris of the eye and write down the coordinates. To help you know the right coordinates, the last digits of Lat and Long are both odd numbers.

To get the coordinates of the cache, use the following formula to get the correct numbers:

The cache coordinates are:

N 28 2A.BCD

W 081 14.EGH

Write the letters for the unknowns above the corresponding numbers in the coordinates for the center of the Alien Eye and do the following math to get the cache coordinates:

A+3 B-3 C+7 D-2 E-1 G-3 H-7

The Alien Eye is a mystery known only to a chosen few. If you are a chosen one and know the meaning of the Eye and its location, send an email to Loadbank who as vassal of the Augur is seeking knowlege of alien matters.

Enjoy your quest for the Tower of Anon and the knowlege of the Alien Eye.
