Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the listed coordinates. However, the listed coordinates would be a fine place to have a picnic, so bring a sandwich and enjoy the view of the mighty Rock River. If you do, you will be in the Atwood Homestead Forest Preserve. I do have a permit to place a cache in WCFP.

To reach the log sheet you will need to solve two puzzles and a riddle. The first puzzle will lead you to the cache container. The second puzzle will allow you to open the lock to get into the cache container. Inside you will find a Travel Bug and a Cryptex which contains the log and a $2.00 bill for the FTF.

The Cryptex has ten dials and each dial has 10 letters on it, so the possible number combinations are . . .  well, I don't know, but it's a whole bunch of possibilities. So, trial and error would take a really long time. Therefore I recommend you figure everything out before you head out. The crptex is homemade. It can take some adjusting to get all the dial properly alined. Also, you may have to give firm tug to open it. Remember, the last dial should be on !

Lets get started.

Cache Location:
N 42 A. BC
W 89 D.EFG


A= Kiefer Sutherland TV show minus 1.

B= TV show “______ is Enough”  X 2 + 1

C=  2004 Movie “Suspect  ______”

D = "_______’s Company"

E= 1998 film with Pullman and Stiller “______ Effect”

F= Movie “The Magnificent ______”

G= Movie "Close Encounters of the ____ Kind"


OK. That looks good to me. If someone spots a problem please let me know.

Now for that pesky little lock.

R = Number of days Sandra Bullock must spend in rehab.
L= Number of Brides plus the number of Brothers the brides are for.
R= Number of Angry Men X 3

OK. Now you should be in. Take the Travel Bug and relocate it.

Now for that Cryptex combination. (By the way, the Cryptex is homemade. I suggest you go to You tube and search for "How to make a Cryptex for $15) Once you have the letter properly lined up you may have to give each end a firm tug.

It is a word with seven letters.They say that only 5% of Stanford University graduates figured it out. But I figured it out, so maybe only 5% of Standford grads tried. There are 8 dials, so I'll tell you the last dial is (!)
It preceded God
It's greater than God
It is more evil than the devil
All poor people have it
Wealthy people need it
If you eat it, you will die

I hope this turns out to be fun one for everyone. Please put everything back as you found it.

Good Luck.
 

By the way there is a travel bug in this cache called "Chopper." Grab it and move it on.
