Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
All logs should be in one of the following categories: Falsify, inflate, distort, exaggerate, sling the bull, lay it on thick, make a mountain out of a molehill, or outright lie
This 17 part multi will start at the Rocky Mountains of the Connecticut Eastern Seaboard. You all know the mountain where many hikers have fallen to the death in the most recent years. All stages are in Connecticut so no need to bring your passport along. But do bring at least 4 gallons of water for each cacher when you cross the dessert canyon. Stage 1 should be easy enough since it is exactly 529 feet due north of the Donut series #1594. Stage 2 coordinates are spun into a spider web by Charlotte herself and is something to behold. Bring your own pencil because at stage 3 you will need to finish a suduko puzzle and a math equation based on the dates of the Swiss/Canadian war battleground plaque in order to find the next coordinates. Try not to disturb the bees in their hive when retrieving the coordinates at stage 4. That honey is being donated to science to understand if drunk bees produce honey better than they dance. Along the way stage, at stage 5, supplies are provided as you may need to construct a raft or stilts which you will need for the next 3 stages. Bring 3 AA batteries and 5 inches of coax cable for stage 7. Hopefully the pulley system won’t rust at stage 8 since I will never be doing cache maintenance. Watch out for the surveillance cameras at stage 9 since it borders the FBIs training facilities. Stealth will be required, in order to avoid arrest, strip search, and/or interrogation (if you don’t like that type of thing). Dangerous wildlife is heavy at stage 10 although this is the only stage you will not have to worry about the poisonous snakes and scorpions as even those animals are afraid of the mosquitoes that are the size of seagulls. Stage 11 is only snow friendly if you like to shovel snow before climbing the death defying heights of stage 12, ballet shoes will make this easier. How far would you go? Not far enough if you rent a camel to reach stage 14. You might want to camp over for stages 15 and 16 as it is easier to see the reflective tape when the searchlights at the border patrol are in use. Of course the final stage is a nano magnetically stuck to a 2000 foot tall pine tree at the 3rd highest peak. There is plenty of parking on Rte 66 and the trail entrance is just behind the “trespassers will be shot” sign. No need to worry about the little ones since there are only 3 railroad tracks to cross and only one of those has the high speed electrical trains. Travel Bugs and Geocoins are welcome at their own risk of being stuck here for years to come. Special equipment may be needed, see photo. Feel free to add photos of special equipment needed to help along the next cacher. All coordinates taken with a sexton so they are 100% accurate. This cache idea DID NOT come from the 2 caches my own parents found in Michigan (Tall Tales, and Liar Liar). And is being published simply for the email messages that I won’t even read but the gullible may believe. Every hider knows they are appreciated by the quick to read TNLNSL or TFTC logs that my kids can make with their favorite cereal, so don't write that. Bring your own pen and bring your own log too.
Of course the FTF prize is a couple of thousand dollars that will help to build a fire to alert rescue patrol as helicopter removal from the area will be required. Or it is just a cheap FTF pin.
Other items:
Ace bandages
Tourniquet
Free passes to the VIP lounge at L&M
70% Deet spray
Golden egg
A puppy
And some eyeshadow
And now for one granular of truth, because I do like tall tales, but I don't like spending money if I don't have to. There is no need to pay for parking as this can be reached from the public parking pulloff at the parking coordinates listed rather than the state park beach itself. In fact if you do try to reach it from a campsite or beach access parking, you may end up thinking the description is true.
