Geocache Description:


A nice little town like ours has fallen under siege to the ruthless villains bent on world domination -- Cobra!

Now it is up to America's real heroes, the G.I. Joe team, to save Fort Lauderdale from becoming a nest for snakes and vipers.

Can you help G.I. Joe accomplish its mission and free the city? Only A Real American Hero is worthy of this task. This is not for the casual Joe fan. The journey is long and difficult, so be sure to pack a canteen and some C rations for along the way.

Stage 5: Know Your Enemy

Field reports state that one of Cobra's group of henchmen have been spotted in this area. If you can flush them out maybe they will lead you back to the location of their secret base.

Extra stealth is required (you never know if these random passerbys are really Cobra operatives in disguise)

What Cobra villain might you find if you drove back behind this building?

Extra hint -- You could also find this villain lurking around the nearby geocache "Urban Cammo" (GCV22W)

The G.I. Joe stealth operative Red Otter reports that "Urban Cammo" is swarming with Cobras. The location has been confirmed to be a major Cobra front, a clear sign that you are getting close to finding the location of the secret Cobra base.

Please report what the name of the Cobra front located near "Urban Cammo" is. This is vital information for the entire G.I. Joe team!

Great prizes await those who can survive the battle. However, a true Joe must be fit both physically AND mentally. Therefore, there will be five questions you must answer and you must also provide a list of all the characters mentioned in the caches to claim your prize.

You are not required to solve anything to find any of the caches, however you CANNOT claim any prizes this way.

While it is suggested to follow the stages in order, it is not imperative that you do so. Full enjoyment should come by following the set order.

You will need your own pen, pencil, marker or crayon to sign most of the logs.

An existing cache by a fellow geocacher is being used with permission during this battle. If you have already visited this cache, it is not necessary that you log it again. I do ask that you post a cache note on geocaching.com and thank the cache owner for his commitment to freedom, and tell him Hugo Nyow sent you.
