Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LISTED COORDINATES.

For some time, I have been thinking about creating a series of caches based on some of my all-time favorite movies. This cache is the first of that series.

To get the actual coordinates for the cache, all you have to do is watch the movie and answer the ten questions listed below. I watched the “National Lampoon’s Animal House –Double Secret Probation Edition” DVD while researching these questions. You may watch any version of this movie (DVD, VHS, TV broadcast) and I am confident the answers will be there for your discovery.
