This cache has been archived.

kvenator: The United States government intelligence community has been compromised. Spectre meddled with the US election, obtained blackmail worthy dirt on one candidate and some controversial communications involving the other one. Spectre released materials on the 2nd knowing if the turkey was elected, they could threaten to release the blackmail material if he didn't do what they wanted. Since the intelligence communities knew about all this already, the now president cut funding to the different intelligence agencies compromising them to the point where Spectre was able run rampant.

In a most devastating turn of events, Spectre re-obtained the launch codes for it's new rockets and is expected to blow up the world any time now. All MI6 agents are dead.

The Joint Chiefs have raised the Defcon level to 1. The highest level. Nuclear war is imminent.

Spend your final moments with those you love and go ahead and give your dog another treat... I mean, what the heck.

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people is strictly coincidental.

6/1/12 update: Hints 3 and 4 have been posted. Follow the link to the video where you'll find the link to the hints at the bottom.

FAQs - I've received these questions from multiple people so thought I'd go ahead and post the answers:

Question: Will you check my coords? Is the cache at XX XX.XXX... ?
Answer: Sure, I'll check them. No, it's not there. If you're sending me coords to check, then you haven't solved the puzzle (that's why there's not a geochecker link on the page).  If you end up with a set of coords after watching the video, a trip to the lake after stage 1 will be a waste of time.  You won't be asking me when you solve the puzzle, you'll just be so excited that you'll bound out the door after it without hesitation... except for the bugs.... well, and snakes... and PI. ;-)

Question: It seems like all the Spellbound caches link to the same video. Is it all the same?
Answer: Yes, it's just one puzzle with four cache placements. You get 4 smileys for solving the one puzzle. You'll be directed to Spellbound I where you'll find the info needed to get II, III and IV.

Question: Do I need a UV flashlight? Will a cheap one work?
Answer: Yes and yes.

Question: I'm stuck. Will you help me?
Answer: Yes, of course. Send me an email that includes a detailed description of what you've found so I know where to start with hints.
