This cache is intended to be
found AFTER DARK1. Why after dark you ask? Because
it’s fun, it’s different, and it’s a little bit
spooky. Trust the “silvery eyes” for they will lead you
safely through the darkness. Beware of the “eyes of
fire”2 for they will stop at nothing to protect
what is rightfully theirs! Boo-Whaa-Haa-haaaaa!
This is a family-friendly
three-stage puzzle cache located in a little know area of Woodbury.
This cache was set up during one of the worst snow storms in recent
memory - hence the "Snomaggedon" reference. The entire series
should only take about 15 minutes to a to complete. Total hiking
shouldn’t exceed more than a ¼ mile. Watch your step as there
are no actual trails to speak of.
STAGE 1: The coordinates
provided are the starting point. Upon arrival you will find
yourself on top of a small hill. Turn on your trusty headlamp or
flashlight4 and scan your surroundings. The key for
Stage 2 will be shining back at you. Punch in your findings and
proceed to the next stage of the journey.
STAGE 2: The information
gathered in Stage 1 will provide your Stage 2 starting point. Once
again, scan your surroundings. This time you seek assistance of a
different sort. This time you are looking for a ghostly set of
“silvery eyes”. Stand under their watchful protection
and scan the darkness for their friends. Follow each set of these
eerie apparitions as they lead you closer and closer to a vial of
information at the end of Stage 2. You will know you're there when
you find four silvery eyes instead of the standard pair.
STAGE 3: Use the
information found within the Stage 2 vial to determine the Stage 3
final cache location. When you see the fearsome "eyes of fire"
you'll know you're close!!!
