This is a series of caches recognizing the top 10 movies of each year from 1950 - 1999. Although most of the roads in this series of caches are suitable for the family sedan, there are some stretches that will require medium to high-clearance vehicles to make it over the rocks without damage to your oil pan. This is a ‘series’ of caches and NOT a ‘power trail’.
NOTE: This is NOT a POWER TRAIL! You won’t be able to complete this in one or two days and it is critical that each cache be put back where it was found and not moved from one location to another in the hopes of speeding up your discoveries. Maintenance of this series of caches is dependent upon each cache remaining in its original location. DO NOT move these caches!
It is REQUESTED that you NOT use ‘stickers’ to log your visit as these stickers are known to gum up the log, making it difficult for others to sign the log and making maintenance necessary sooner than it should. Rubber stamps are fine and there are blank pages in most of the logs for the use of rubber stamps. In the interest of keeping maintenance at a minimum, please use one line of the log to mark your visit and save your dialog for the online log for others to enjoy.
Many of the caches have a MOJO poker chip. Once you have collected one please leave the rest for others to find and claim. These are NOT FTF prizes!
Nearly all caches will have a difficulty rating of 3 because most of the caches are micros or hidden pretty well. And none of them will have hints on where to look. Good luck!
Dog Day Afternoon is a 1975 drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, written by Frank Pierson and produced by Martin Bregman. The film stars Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, Chris Sarandon, and Carol Kane. The title refers to the "dog days of summer".
The film was inspired by P.F. Kluge's article "The Boys in the Bank", which tells a similar story of the robbery of a Brooklyn bank by John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile on August 22, 1972. This article was published in Life in 1972. The film received generally positive reviews upon its September 1975 release by Warner Bros. Pictures (now a sister company to Life), some of which referred to its anti-establishment tone. Dog Day Afternoon was nominated for several Academy Awards and Golden Globe awards, and won one Academy Award.
