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!
National Lampoon's Animal House is a 1978 American comedy film directed by John Landis. The film is about a misfit group of fraternity men who challenge their college's administrators. The screenplay was adapted by Douglas Kenney, Chris Miller and Harold Ramis from stories written by Miller and published in National Lampoon magazine based on Miller's experiences in the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity at Dartmouth College (the character Pinto is a thinly veiled version of Miller, whose actual fraternity nickname was, in fact, "Pinto"), Ramis' experiences in the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity at Washington University in St. Louis, and producer Ivan Reitman's experiences at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
Of the young lead actors only John Belushi was an established star; several of the actors, including Tom Hulce, Karen Allen, and Kevin Bacon, were early in their careers. Upon its initial release, Animal House received generally mixed reviews from critics, but Time and Roger Ebert proclaimed it one of the year's best. Filmed for $2.7 million, it is one of the most profitable movies of all time; since its initial release, Animal House has garnered an estimated return of more than $141 million in the form of video and DVDs, not including merchandising.
The film launched the gross-out genre. In 2001, the United States Library of Congress deemed Animal House "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. This film was #1 on Bravo's 100 Funniest Movies. It was #36 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs list of the 100 best American comedies. In 2008, Empire magazine selected Animal House as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time.
