Geocache Description:

I'm hoping that this will get me a nickname like Dr Evil got... MWAAAHAHAHAHAH



{THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDS }


When it is all said and done, your life is sculpted by one variable.  The choices you make.

What you choose to do this morning will have a great impact on how the day turns out by the end.


What you choose to eat will have a huge impact on your health. 

Neo had to make a tough choice in "The Matrix"  and I quote

Morpheus
:
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."


In the song
"White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, There is another choice...


One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all

I had to choose to change the words in the song for this cache... take a look at this picture and remember what it says (you will need it for one part of the cache)


One more example,
I had
to choose the colours of my text
 very carefully to make this whole thing work. 

You will have to make a few choices to find this cache.  That is why I put the difficulty high.

E verything you need to find the starting point is right here on the page. 

Once you figure out where the starting point is you will find a trailhead sign with some usefull numbers to get you on your way... they will take you to a pole... Look up, there are three numbers (disregard the hyphen and use it like a 3 digit number) To get to the next stage, SUBTRACT 52 from the number on the pole for the distance in meters. ADD 24 to the number on the pole for bearing in TRUE...There you will find an ammo box.  I hope you remembered the picture because this is where it comes into play...


If you do this next part right, there will be 2 choices, A "BAD CHOICE" and a "GOOD CHOICE". (if you figured out the coords for the good choice and the bad choice correctly, They will be within aprox. 370 meters from the pill bottles but in different directions) The good choice will take you to the cache... and you will see why I picked the name because this would be a hard pill to swallow!... When you are close to the areas you are looking for there will be red and white striped tape... all the places will be off the main trail.

There is a "guardian" watching this cache... It is real close to the final... The poor thing needs a name though...Instead of a FTF prize, the first person who posts a picture with the it gets to name it.


Well thanx to Milleblanc and the Pollywog, the guardian now has a name... "LILYWOG"

Have Fun!!!
