Eggplanti9, soon to be one fourth of the Megplant family, has
been a long standing member of the geocaching community. He has
been involved in various caching groups and events across the state
(including PAGA, BACON, and JAGA), and has made a lot of friends
along the way. As a founding member of JAGA, we owe him a lot for
his time and dedication to making this sometimes, solitary sport
into more of a social activity and community experience in the
Johnstown Altoona Region.
Eggplanti9 has hidden caches under his name, as a family with the
Megplant name, with JAGA, and with various other groups along the
way. He likes a good hike, and enjoys finding archived caches. He
has become known for some of his 'maddening' micro hides deep in
the woods. We take your lead, Ian.
Thanks and Congratulations! Heres to 2000 more!
You can thank the following people for this cache, for we all
had our part to play: The hiding party: emilierene,
haloedversionls, rebeard; The idea and planning: ltsilverfox,
dtsilverfox, RichFather; The container: Whizkid; and also a thank
you to all the other JAGA members that could not make it. What a
great group of people to know.
Though this is a traditional cache, we decided to include a
puzzle to obtain additional hints to finding this cache. True to an
eggplant micro, we hiked deep into State Game Lands and we did not
make this easy. To help out, we wanted to provide help, but we
don't want to make it too easy on everyone. The cache is located
one-half-mile from the parking coordinates, as the crow flies. Most
of this is bushwhacking; as such, we recommend you take the
following clues seriously. We'd hate to hear that you hiked all the
way out there just to be foiled and not make the find.

Each clue is coded a different way and each clue gets
progressively more difficult to decipher as they become more
informative.
As always, be careful when you go out, use common sense, and cache
safely. Always tell someone where you are going and plan
accordingly for the journey you plan to make. When possible, cache
in trash out. And most importantly, HAVE FUN.
If you have any problems, comments, questions or need help with
a puzzle or finding a cache, please feel free to contact me through
my profile. I love to hear from cachers and like to see 'found it'
logs on my caches.
Congratulations to eggplanti9 and JAGA group: First to Find!
