Geocache Description:






Misson X: The Lost Mission




In May of 2001, 20th Century Fox, was preparing to release its summer blockbuster, “Planet of the Apes.” They wanted a publicity stunt, and saw that computer geeks everywhere seemed to be flocking to this new hobby, Geocaching. To try and capatalize on this potential market, Fox Studios formulated a “sub-plot” that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie: Renegade humans were trying to reveal an “Alternative Primate Evolution” theory by placing artifacts around the world. Code Name: Project A.P.E. (*Taken from the Project A.P.E.? Web Site)



The Project A.P.E. caches have disappeared over time, but many U.S. cachers had the chance to find Mission 9: Tunnel of Light, Washington, USA GC1169 up until June of 2011 when it was archived.

There is currently only one active Project A.P.E Cache left in the world: Mission 4: Southern Bowl (GCC67) in Brazil.

This geocache is a barrel located in a well. The equipment needed to retrieve the geocache can be found at the cache site and no other special equipment is needed.

Please only search for this cache during the daylight hours.

Please replace the cache in the same manner in which you found it
so that others will have the same experience.
