This cache is hidden in the Depot Hill state multi-use area.
This cache is one of a 13 cache series celebrating my favorite television show, "Mystery Science Theater 3000." The first 12 in the series are stand alone letterbox hybrids that will contain a single number and letter combination that can be used to find the last, Bonus cache. You can do however many you'd like, but you'll need to do them all to get the lucky 13th. All caches are custom built and painted and contain a handmade stamp. I hope that you have as much fun finding them as I've had making them. As with all letterboxes, return the stamp to the container for all to use. Many of the containers could be a little fragile, so please take your time retrieving them.
"Mystery Science Theater 3000" or MST3k for short, aired from 1989-1999. It grew from a public access show on KTMA in Minnesota to a full production on both Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel. Created by Joel Hodgson, it was a derivative of the old Buggs Bunny cartoons with silhouettes in front of the screen making fun of really bad movies. The show had a huge cult following during its' airing that still exists today thanks to the internet. As was suggested during many of the commercials, "Join us!"
This cache features Professor Bobo played by Kevin Murphy. The professor is, well, an ape. Picture the original "Planet of the Apes" costumes and you've got Bobo. He was a scientist among the other apes until Mike Nelson inadvertently told them how to activate a nuclear bomb. As the planet was destroyed, Bobo stowed away on Pearl Forrester's escape craft (a VW bus rigged for interplanetary travel) He may have been the smartest of the apes, but that's really not saying much. Professor Bobo spent the rest of his days as a lab assistant for Pearl's evil plots.
The cache itself is located in the Depot Hill MUA. There is hunting in this multi-use area during season, so dress appropriately. The Appalachian Trail runs through here, but it wont really help you to find this cache. Your best bet would be to use the old woods roads and bushwhacking is almost required in here. There are a few other caches in here as well. I've listed a small parking lot at the end of the paved road and an alternate parking area down the dirt road a bit. If the dirt road is passable, the alternate would be your best start as it's where you can pick up the woods road. Getting to the cache is up to you from there.
