Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!


So you want the answers to where this missing log sheet is huh? Well me too pal, so get in line! Me, this is my job! The program sent me to get the answers. But I figure if you know this much then you already figured that out for yourself. Well good for you! I don't deny it. I'm the competition! Yup, I said it!


But look my friend, you are obviously a professional of some sort, I can tell by your look. So what's say we team up and get the answers and no one else has to know. I'm not really a bad guy, ya know! Heck I'll even cut you in. How does a quarter sound?


The program was conceived as a means of creating a new generation, and in that it succeeded!


I hear they've made as much as three billion dollars since the program started! Isn't that crazy? So I don't let them push me around too much, not at my salary! I'm their best agent!


What's my name? Oh, I'm sorry how rude of me! I am Mr. Castle. I have been with the program for a long time and I really believe in it. I believe in this man here, he is a great agent. But he was captured and tortured by those who are against us, and now he just keeps babbling nonsense.


So I need you to help me understand what he is talking about. They tell me you are their best code-breaker. I am really counting on you.


Ok, here is our friend. Mr. Diehl, sir, can you tell us where you hid the secret log sheet?


The star looms large on the state.


Wait, what? What does that mean? Buddy, do you know what he means by that? Do you see what I'm talking about?


The fiddle, the trumpet and the guitar score three stars.


See! This is nonsense! That is what happens when you use shock-electric torture on secret agents for too long! His brain is fried!


Cabbage palmettos are the gateway to discovery.


The pelican saw the purchase on the map.


I am not sure if I can take this. This man was my mentor, it is not easy to see him so messed up now! Here, let's give him some water to drink.


Here sir, drink this!


There's maple trees over the camels hump! The king points west! Mustangs run from the rising sun!


This is crazy! Maybe we should shock him again, maybe that will jar him back. What do you think?


Susan Constant was the third ship! The bronco enjoys equality! The winning schooner chimes at sea!


We need to get him to a doctor right away. Or a shrink!


The thoroughbred is behind the fence! The statue of liberty is the gateway to freedom!


OK, how about if I go have a cigarette while you listen to this babble and make sense. Let me know if you see any change.


John T. is a great photographer! Cowshead goes great with cheese and corn! The Golden Spike is at the crossroads! The star looms large on the state.


What's that you say? OK, let's listen and see... Wow you are right! He is repeating it over and over! See, I knew our opposition would bring in the right guy! I think we can solve this after all! Grab a pen!

CACHE IS HIDDEN WITH PERMISSION, BUT PLEASE STILL USE STEALTH DUE TO MUGGLES. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AS ALWAYS.



CONGRATS TO ORION AND SON ON THE FTF!!!
