Geocache Description:

The Titan Prometheus has stolen the gift of fire from the gods of Olympus. Fortunately for you he dribbled a bit on his way . This is a glint trail multi.

*** This cache requires a long hike in low light conditions. All the mines are capped and grated off, so there’s no risk of falling in. There are however some hills to climb and rocks to go over which could be slick in bad conditions. Extra care should be taken. The terrain rating would probably be a 3 1/2 in full sunlight, but given the low light requirement I've bumped it to 4. *** You’ll need a strong flashlight, a headlamp probably won’t cut it. Begin at the posted coordinates, and look for the first stage trail. This leg of the cache is marked with stealth tacks to prevent “ high- noon cheaters”. Follow them along the trail until you see two white tacks one over the other. This marks a small departure from the trail until you see a orange tack. There you are searching for a micro within 20 feet. The micro will give you coordinates to the start of the second stage. Go back out to the trail to get to this GZ, no need to bushwack that far. At these numbers look for the start of a red glint trail. At some point along the red glint trail, a yellow glint trail will begin too. The yellow glints will take you all the way back to parking, more on that in a minute. Follow red/ yellow until you again see two white, one above the other. From there your looking for two red. A second micro can be found within 20 feet. Record the numbers gained from this micro and get back on the yellow trail. At the given coordinate start looking for a red/ blue glint trail. This will be a small bushwack, but the backside of each glinted tree is marked with a white fire tack for you to find your way out afterward. Follow red/ blue until you find two reds stacked. The cache is with 20 feet and marked with a large blue reflector. Once you’ve signed the log, follow the white glints back to the yellow trail, and the yellow trail back to parking. Have fun, but take your time. The trails aren’t too bad, but if you wander off you could find some nasty drop offs.

FTF prize is a 10 DD card, or choice of some other cool swag. I tried to keep a nocturnal theme to things. There is one item of no value at all in there, you'll know it when you see it, and why it's there. Please leave it and take something better.

The Cache of the Titans is a series of 7 expert level caches that will be released each week. They are designed to test your skill, smarts, stamina, and maybe your patience. They will take you to the towns of New Milford, Kent, Gaylordsville, Roxbury, and Washington. Be sure to check each log book for part of a coordinate to the series final: Olympus. These caches can be potentially very dangerous, and not intended for children. Have fun and enjoy, but please be careful. Player assumes all risk and responsibility in pursuing this cache.

These caches are in no way affiliated with the classic movie of a similar name, or the trainwreck of a remake in 2010.
