Geocache Description:

DO NOT USE THE COORDINATES AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE! They are WRONG!

Puzzle #4 in the "Geek" series

To give everyone a Quick Review of the saga of my life so far, this crazy trip all started when I became cross-eyed from staring at Questionably Radioactive computer screens and had to get new glasses (I always hated being called "Four Eyes!" as a kid) - this unfortunately led to me becoming Color Blind. As a result, I was "let go" from my job as a web designer and accepted the position of a Quirky Recertified Middle School computer teacher; telling students how to find things like cells R2 D2 & C3 P0, make a chart, quit throwing spit balls, etc. Any teacher will tell you that although the job is Quite Rewarding, it's also one of the hardest, most strenuous and tiring professions out there. My brain has Quit Responding. The stress has me Quivering Repeatedly. I haven't had any Quiet Rest for months.....it was time for a VACATION! Unfortunately, like every other aspect of my life so far, things Quite Rarely go as planned.

I found this Quaint Resort by the Grand Canyon and decided it would be fun to check it out as I love the outdoors and knew there were some great geocaches just begging to be found. My Quiet Retired guide led me into the canyon and all was going well until suddenly, he was gone. Poof. Beam me up Scotty. I had no idea where I was and started shouting for help but there was no answer. I wandered around around for hours until there was no more food in my backback and it was starting to get dark. As I stood there starting to Quake Really bad, I thought I heard something. Could that be music? Down here? I Quietly Ran in the direction of the noise.....it got louder and louder but wasn't like anything I had ever heard before. Scrambled. Screeching. Strange. Suddenly I ran into a huge WALL! It had the strangest symbols I had ever seen imprinted on it:


I tried to Question Reasonably what in the world this could be until it hit me.....it may not BE of this world!!! NOW I was really freaking out. I turned to Quickly Retreat the other way and BAM! Another wall!


The freaky noises were all around me getting louder and louder; worse than a Quiet Riot concert on steroids. I was trapped! I couldn't figure out which way to run next and it was getting darker. Just as I was about to Quit Running around in circles, screaming "don't abduct me" and curl up into a ball, a ladder suddenly fell from the sky. It was a rescue helicopter! Yes! I grabbed the ladder and as they hoisted me up into the cockpit I heard: "Man, what a Quick Response! Wait a mintue, is he foaming at the mout........" right before I passed out.

Now, here I finally lay in a nice Quiet Retreat.....for the Mentally Ill. I've told everyone I can my story and begged them to check it out but apparantly, nothing is there (according to THEM.) Where's the guide? "What guide?" How about the noise? "You were hyperventilating." The walls, the wallsssss!!! People just don't believe in aliens like they should.
