Geocache Description:

A disguised micro cache with log. Please bring your own pen.

This cache is dedicated to the classic novel 20,000 leagues under the sea by Jules Verne.

The story in 1866 is about an expedition to find a mysterious sea monster. After much fruitless searching, the monster is found, and a battle ensues. During the fight, the ship's steering is damaged, and the three protagonists are thrown overboard. They find themselves stranded on the "hide" of the creature, only to discover to their surprise that it is a large metal construct. They are quickly captured and brought inside the vessel, where they meet its enigmatic creator and commander, Captain Nemo.

The rest of the story follows the adventures of the protagonists aboard the submarine, the Nautilus, which was built in secrecy and now roams the seas free of any land-based government.

The story was written decades before submarines of such size and utility became a reality.

The Novel Cache series is a mixture of interesting containers and varying sizes, some of which can accommodate small swaps and TB's.

We hope you enjoy finding them as much as we enjoyed placing them.

Can be done as a cache and dash but please park considerately.
