This cache has been archived.

John Galt?: This was fun until it wasn't. All the supporting caches are gone so this isn't much of a puzzle anymore. Thanks to all those who gave it a favorite point.

Geocache Description:

CONGRATULATIONS TO Saphyre1221 and Ashley21222 on FTF!
They are Master Cachers and all should know and spread the good word!

If you are looking for this cache, you have already successfully completed the Dr. Hook series and are now ready for the Medicine Show.

The posted coords will take you to the entrance between dawn and dusk. This location is closed and the gates are locked and you are not allowed in if the sun isn't up. Read long description for puzzle.

A short 3 stage multi with three of the stages being responsible for the difficulty rating (2 fully custom containers and one just to be annoying). There are two FTF and two 2TF prizes in the final.

My all-time favorite rock band from the 70's came into town and I gave them a tour of the Wilkes-Barre to Avoca area. I broke the tour into 5 areas with 2 or 3 stops for each. They enjoyed it so much that they sang a song for each group as you will see by the name of each cache.

This is "A couple more years" I recommend listening to each song on your smart phone as you cache, they are all available on youtube.

If you wish to know each of the songs they played, check my other caches I have hidden this month. They are GC3KP86 (I'm A Millionaire). While you are searching, look for ABC's in the final stages. You will need these to complete the last cache which is a bit of a mystery.

The primary reason for this series of caches is to give every cacher an opportunity for 4-5 difficulty level caches regardless of their physical ability. The girl who has been my daughters babysitter for the last 6 years recently lost use of her legs in a car accident and inspired me to do this series so everyone has the chance for difficult non-micro caches without having to do anything physically demanding. I hope this works out and if you see a stage which has difficult terrain, please message me and I will make changes if needed.

From the other caches, you have collected some numbers. You should replace the letters here with the corresponding numbers from your collection if you can still find them.

As of 28 August 2017, the only cache left with a missing number is GC3KP86 (I'm A Millionaire).
As of 12 October 2017, all other caches have been archived.
See if you can figure this out ;)

Oh yeah, and IF (a big IF, I know) you really enjoy these, don't forget to use one of the many unapplied 'Favorite' points you have sitting there :)
