magtfplanner: Was in town last night so had a good look at the area. With the GZ muggled, there is nowhere to restore this cache and maintain the "spirit" of the tribute [:(]. Going to have to archive this one. There was no escaping this fate [B)]...

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates!

If you feel so inclined, you may search for the cache at the posted coordinates but you will need to be a strong swimmer to do so and you will not find the cache because it is NOT THERE!

This cache is a mysterious tribute to InxtricablFate, one of NEFGA's most notorious caching gurus. The posted coordinates will not help you find this cache AT ALL! To find this cache you must learn a little about InxtricablFate to decipher the coodinates necessary to begin your hunt. All the answers you need can be found between this page, his log entries, his geocache history, and his caching statistics page. Once you have deciphered the coordinates and arrive at the GZ, use the clues provided to track down the cache.

Inextricable: (adjective) - Incapable of being disentangled, undone, loosed, or solved.

Fate: (noun) - The force by which all existence is determined and conditioned.

InxtricablFate: (Proper Noun) - A inescapable force by which the existence and condition of all caches will be determined.

When I first began caching in January of 2010 it had already been pre-determined that InxtricablFate and I would meet. Our paths kept nearly crossing along the caching trails but we beat the odds by almost 6 months. Then a crafty trackable unknowingly escaped from my collection and found its way to Fate, binding our caching destinies together from that point forward. Since then we have gone on many midnight caching adventures, power runs, weekend road trips, and insane hikes through places that few cachers ever venture. At the culmination of our 2010 adventures we cached through 11 states, every county in Florida, and found almost 1000 caches in just one month!!!! What other amazing feats has InxtricablFate accomplished? I encourage you to find out for yourself as you answer the questions below in your quest for coords...

InxtricablFate and Ai on Draper Mountain, Virginia (an EarthCache FTF).

Part I

This cache is located at:

N 30 AB.CDE
W081 FG.HIJ

A= In what month did InxtricablFate begin geocaching?
B= "Pick Up Sticks" (GC1MQ52) is InxtricablFate's which # milestone cache?
C= How many 10 Years! Events has InxtricablFate attended?
D= While out caching, how many caches does InxtricablFate willingly pass by without trying to make a find? Take this number and multiply it by 9.
E= How many states did InxtricablFate find caches in on 16 Oct 2010? (I'll give you a big hint to help find this one. He logs caches chronologically. Check the log entries transitioning from 15 Oct - 16 Oct. You can find the answer within the first 10 caches for the day.)

F= Including InxtricablFate in the total, how many cachers found the A-Z ONF Challenge (GC2G5XB) on the last day of the 2010 Florida Finder's Fest Weekend?
G= How many times did InxtricablFate DNF Grape Stained Soles (GC23VCB) before he finally made the find?
H= How many caches has InxtricablFate found in the Bahamas?
I= Of the North, South, and Final Florida Challenge Quests, how many has inxtricablFate completed?
J= "Beverly" (GC28) was InxtricablFates #x000 milestone?

Part II

When you arrive at the coordinates, you should know right away because you will see a large gateway with a commonly recognized symbol of "fate" standing at its center.

Proceed forward until you are nearly under the arches of the gateway at the center of the base of the symbol of "fate". Kneel at the exact center of the gateway and the symbol. Don't worry, not only will you look perfectly natural performing this action here but it should also hide you from view of nearby passing muggles. From this position, the cache is located exactly 10' behind you, directly lined up to the center of the base of the symbol of "fate". You will need to trust to your own fate as you reach into the unknown to retrieve this cache from hiding!

Good Luck & Happy Hunting!!!!
