Doppelganger is in Two Moon Park. You will have to solve the puzzle
to get the coordinates. Please only cache during park hours. The
park closes at 10:00 PM. * The cache IS NOT located at the listed
cords.
Doppelganger is defined as a tangible double of a living person in fiction, folklore and popular culture that typically represents evil. In the vernacular, the word doppelganger has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection.
Doppelgangers often are perceived as a sinister form of bilocation and generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. * Excerpts from Wikipedia.
See the following instructions: So in finding Doppelganger one must consider bilocation
There are two caches, both have been hidden in the same manner, both are in the same type of container and each of the "bilocated caches" have the same North cords. Further, the West cords are almost identical except for the variable middle two numbers. ie example: 109 xx.123.
You will get explicit further instructions at the first "bilocation".
Each "bilocated cache" also have exact duplicate items in each of the Bilocations. In each of the doppelganger "bilocation caches" you will find the following pouches.. Note, the items in the pouches are NOT trade items, but are items to move to
ONLY bilocation # 2:
Pouch # 1 (2) keys
Pouch # 2 (2) key chains
Pouch # 3 (4) coins, a penny, a nickel, a dime and a quarter
Pouch # 4 A pen and a pencil. The pencil with a MET transit written on it; a pen with a medical name on it.
Pouch # 5 (3) Stamps: A forever stamp, a US flag stamp & a snowflake stamp.
Pouch # 6 Paper Money: A $1, $2 bill and
$20, $50, $100 and $500 Monopoly money.
The objective; if you play the game is to bring one of the listed items from home and leave it in stage 1, take the same item
out of the cache at stage 1 and transport it to stage 2. Leave the item you got from stage 1 in the stage 2 cache, lastly take the
same item that is at Stage 2 and take it home. At bilocation # 2, there is a 3 diget number on all pouches. Please e-mail me what "item" you transported to bilocation # 2 and the number on that specific pouch.
OR, you can just SIGN THE LOG BOOKS WITHOUT transporting any items. There is also a swag bag at "bilocation" # 2 which you can trade items as well.
By moving items from stage 1 to stage 2 the doppelganger cache should always retain the same items at each bilocation.
The 3.5/4.5 rating is due to both solving the mystery as well as time involved in finding bilocation # 2. In addition there may be some moderate to extreme hiking involved. Day time caching is suggested. You will gather information for Bilocation # 2 at bilocation # 1. You may need to plan several hours to do the entire process of the hunt. It may also be a good idea to bring your GPS manual, you may need to use it.
Please do not disclose the secret of the methodology of determining the final cords. Let others enjoy the challenge. Geo-caching couples or teams are OK.
May the luck O' the Irish be with you.
