Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Cryptozoological Capture and Containment Center (made possible by and located within New York’s Gilbert Lake State Park.) The C.C.C.C. is dedicated to studying, capturing, and containing wild (and potentially dangerous) cryptids. (A cryptid is a creature that has remained hidden and/or largely unknown to the general public and the scientific community.) This Temporal-Dimensional Cryptid Containment Unit houses a most dangerous creature, the Werewolf.

Werewolf Hominus Lupinus

There are two distinct types of were-creatures and countless versions of each (related to geography and the types of local natural predators.) One type appears to be a cross between animal and human (an evolutionary hybrid, perhaps.) The other type appears to be a result of a human or animal infected by a powerful preternatural retro-virus. While both types of Werewolf are extremely dangerous, the latter kind has the added danger of possible infection. If encountered in the wild, great care should be taken to not be bitten by a werewolf. Scientists from around the world are working on a cure for the "were" virus. Doc Drake Branta is rumored to be close to a breakthrough in this area. Capturing this Werewolf (Cheney), was a necessary first step for this research. To decrease the chance of accidental attack and/or infection, the containment unit is designed to keep the Werewolf in a state of suspended animation.

The Temporal-Dimensional Cryptid Containment Units, patterned after technology first created and used by the Ghostbusters (in nearby New York City), are capable of holding creatures of any shape and size. While the T-D Cryptid Containment Units appear to be small rectangular metal boxes (remarkably similar to .30 cal ammo cans) on the outside, they are actually much larger on the inside. This allows each cryptid to have enough space to live in a simulated natural environment while keeping them safely sequestered. People outside the T-D C.C.U. may observe the cryptid within by simply (carefully) opening the unit and peering inside. (Do not enter or otherwise disturb the temporal-dimensional field of the unit, lest the creature escape back into the wild.)

We hope you enjoy your time at the Cryptozoological Capture and Containment Center. Our founder and director, Doc Drake Branta, is convinced these amazing creatures are simply misunderstood, unjustly vilified by the uneducated and unaware. Doc Drake Branta can most often be found at one of the T-D Containment Units, often venturing into the containment field to be closer to these creatures he has a special bond with.

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, access to Gilbert Lake State Park requires a State Park pass or a daily access fee. Dogs are allowed with a leash. Park is open from dawn to dusk. There is bow hunting in the park and in the area of this cache during the last two weeks of November and the first two weeks of December. The cache will be archived during this period per park staff request. T-D Containment Unit - Werewolf is placed with the permission of the Gilbert Lake State Park Staff. Permit Number GL-06 issued by Park Manager Ed Winslow on September 13, 2010.
