Mavis Beacon's Nightmare Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:

Congratulations - Axmantis - First To Find

The Cache is not at the posted coordinates. However, it is a good parking spot. Solve the puzzle to find the location of the cache. Beware of Muggles at final location. Some basic agility may be required at gz.


So - have you ever wondered who is Mavis Beacon? According to Wiki - she is not a real person. The lady on the box is a Caribbean born fashion model named Renee L'Esperance. The Mavis Beacon name was made up. Her first name was taken from Mavis Staples, lead vocalist for the Staple Singers, and from beacon, as in a light to guide the way. Well, we will just go along with it for now.

The cache is located in Caruth Park. It is well maintained, no Pi or thorns. There are tennis courts, picnic tables, water fountains and a large pond. A combination soccer, football, baseball field is on the north side of the park. Don't forget the kids playground area - swings, jungle gyms, and slides oh my! Concrete paths run throughout. Please note the park hours 6am to 11pm. Once you solve the puzzle, you are looking for a small pill container. It is smaller than a 35mm film canister, but larger than a small bison tube. Once you find ground zero, you may need to r-e-a-c-h for what you seek. It is not in plain view but extraction from it's hiding spot should not be too difficult. Be aware of your surroundings, this can be a high muggle area. Also the park is surrounded by busy streets, and home owners with a view. The cache itself is in the park - you will not need to go into any homeowner's yard!







Mavis has had a bad day. Her star student has left her the location of a cache. Unfortunately it is a garbled mess. There are punctuation errors, lack of capital letters (none), and even some spacing issues - to mention a few of her head aches . Can you help Mavis find the proper coordinates to the final location?
