Geocache Description:


It's Dark!  It's Deep!!  It's a . . . .





"Black Hole" in a BOX!!!



This cache is located on Private Property, at the entrance to a Far Far Away Place.  It was placed with permission from the home owner . . . with extra special permission from the lovely Geo Widow . . . his understanding wife.

Below are the explicit instructions on how to find the log book.





STOP:  Carefully read all the instructions below, they are key to finding the log.  GO:





1.  You are about to take on the task of finding the log book in the "BLACK HOLE" a puzzle box.  Remember, there is no need to pry, force or pull anything, when you unlock the key, voila . . . you will find the log!

2.
  PLEASE:
DO NOT UNSCREW ANY SCREWS.
DO NOT TWIST THE TURNBUCKLES.
DO NOT PULL ON ANY OF THE WOODEN SYMBOLS ATTACHED TO THE BOX.
*JUST BRING A SPECIAL PENCIL SUGGESTED BELOW, IT WILL BE THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO SIGN THE LOG BOOK.
 


3.  All the wooden, colored SYMBOLS attached to the BOX must align for this cache to work.  The symbols do not move.  Please, double check your alignment of the lid before and after you find the log.  Also please read all the enclosed instructions in the BOX, after you find the log. 

4.
  If you bring a
HB Pencil, you can sign the log in ONE MOVE!!!



5. 
Did I say . . . all you need is a HB Pencil exactly like the one above to figure this out?  If you have any trouble and I am home, just knock on the door.  If I am not home, try thinking outside the box.

6. 
The cache Box is full of red herrings (
clues, that are or are intended to be misleading or distracting).  These red herrings are of the visual type.  However, I have also made it very simple.  All you need to do is ask yourself, "What does the CO want me to see and do?"

7.  Lastly and most importantly this cache is FRAGILE, PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE!


HAVE FUN and GOOD LUCK!!!!
