Geocache Description:



The PMC2 is a series of fiendishly difficult puzzles created by 18 of the best Puzzle Masters in the Mid-Atlantic Region. In each of these caches you will find a user name and password. After you enter each user name and password into the site listed below, you will be taken to a page with a short puzzle and ultimately a final puzzle piece. Assemble these pieces and find the final cache!

BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY HERE


This series is designed to lead you on an epic adventure that will require Master puzzle-solving skills and extensive travel to unique locations. You must travel and log in at each cache in order to claim a find on the final. Due to the extensive time and effort put into this challenge, the cache can be done as a group but each member of the group must go to each cache site and sign each log. Dividing into sub groups and pooling their efforts will not be allowed.

All 18 caches will be released sporadically between now and the EVENT to be held in June. To make them easy to find we have created a WEBSITE that will have a complete list of all the available PMC caches in all 4 series as they are published.

Hassle in the Castle first aired on September 27, 1969 as part of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?



While going boating on a foggy night, our seafaring sleuths manage to beach their boat onto the mysterious Haunted Isle, where they venture into and investigate the Vasquez Castle. There, The Scooby-Doo Sleuths come face to face with what appears to be a phantom and get involved with Vasquez The Pirate's buried treasure. They trap and unmask the phantom for what he really is: Bluestone The Great, a harmless ex-magician wanted in 6 states and was scaring people away in his phantom guise while he hunted for the long lost treasure!
