Geocache Description:

The Big Lie


This is a puzzle. You must solve the puzzle to find the cache.

After work one day I decided to go to a local bar, Landing Zone Lounge, for a freaky drink before heading home. The bar was within walking distance at the corner of N 34th Ave and Central St, but I decided to drive because it looked like it could start raining any minute.

There is no street-side parking downtown, so I had to park in the nearby parking garage. All of the spaces on the lower two floors were full. I finally found a space on the 3rd floor and parked.

Within minutes of parking the car I was in the Landing Zone. I grabbed a stool at the bar and ordered my appletini. While sitting there munching on the complementary pretzels and watching Fox News on channel 360, I noticed someone sliding onto the stool next to me. I glanced over to see a well dressed woman, maybe in her mid-30s, drinking one of those fancy mixed drinks with fruit and an umbrella in the glass.

“That's a mighty pretty drink you have there,” I said, tying to start a conversation. “Yeah, it's my favorite. I get 83% of my daily serving of fruit and an ounce of alcohol, which is good for your heart, all at the same time,” she responds. We both smiled at her little joke. We continued chatting about the news for just a couple of minutes short of an hour when I excused myself to make a bathroom break. Upon returning, I saw that she had left. “Dang! All that yapping and I didn't even get her name. What a jerk!!”

When I picked up my beer I found a business card under it. It said, “Jessie Carol's - Business Attire for Women, 857 W Main St, Dahlonega, GA. Hours 10 am to 8 pm, M-F. 706-342-3265.” I sat there looking at it for a minute then turned it over. On the back was a handwritten note. “Call me tomorrow 706-835-9153, Jessie.” I finished my beer and went home with plans to call Jessie the next day.

At work the next day, I couldn't wait for lunchtime to arrive so that I would have a chance to give Jessie a call. At noon I found myself dialing the number on the back of the card. I was surprised when I heard, “Do.. doo... dooooo..... The number you have dialed is no longer in service, or you may have dialed a wrong number. Please check the number and try again.” I did... twice... with the same result. I flipped the card over and tried the store number and got the same message. “What the heck is going on here?” I thought to myself.

The end of the work day couldn't come fast enough. I literally ran to the car and raced over to the address on the business card. I was there within minutes. The address, 857 W Main St did not exist! The last address on that block was 835 W Main St, then across the street the first address was 900 W Main St.

Nothing made any sense. It seems everything was just a big lie.
