The Last Crusade Multi-Cache

NOTE: This is a 3 stage multicache. Please do not add a log to stage 1. Thanks.

"Who drinks the water I shall give him, says the Lord. Will have a spring welling up inside him for eternal life. Let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Across the desert and through the mountains to the canyon of the crescent moon. To the temple where the cup that holds the blood of Jesus Christ resides forever."

Step into the shoes of Indiana Jones, in the third of a series of geocaches based on the greatest action adventure hero of all time. Following the 1989 hit movie, this cache will take you on an adventure to find the Holy Grail. Inspired by a similar series in the Augusta Georgia area - explore exotic locations, experience the thrill of the hunt, and solve the puzzles of the ancients to find the greatest treasures of all time.

You are in a race with the Nazis to find the Holy Grail. The quest for the Grail is not archaeology, it is a race against evil. If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth. And in this sort of race, there's no silver medal for second place. Find Henry Jones' Grail Diary and use it. It contains clues that will lead you to the site of Sir Richard's Shield, which reveals the hidden location of the Grail Temple - the final resting place of the Holy Grail. You must hurry, but be very careful and don't trust anyone.

Remember, archaeology is the search for fact, you do not follow maps to buried treasure and X never ever marks the spot.

The Holy Grail is protected by three challenges of the most lethal kind. Henry Jones discovered clues to safely get you past them in the Chronicles of St. Anselm. First, the breath of God...only the penitent man will pass. Second, the word of God...only in the footsteps of God will he proceed. Third, the path of God...only in the leap from the lions head will he prove his worth.

Once you find the Grail Temple, you must choose...but choose wisely, for as the true grail will bring you life, the false grail will take it from you.

Good luck on your adventure!

Replace caches exactly as you find them, and please do not take the Grail Diary, Sir Richard's Shield, or Grails from their GZ locations - they are all critical to other future cachers' enjoyment of this adventure. A knowledge of the movie will help you, but you can use the hints if your memory fails. Thanks.
