Geocache Description:

A big cache hidden in honor of a BIG movie. This puzzle may require about 90 minutes of your time before you chase after this cache. Cache is NOT at initial coords. Coords take you to an intersection that will eventually help you reach this cache. Container is hidden on private property with permission of the owner.

I have a love for movies going back as far as I can remember. Many are obscure, but several favorites are classics for everyone. Say the word, "Raiders," and movie buffs will know you're talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark.

My love for this movie has been passed on to my kids who can instantly return a movie line when I prompt them with the phrase before it. This banter crosses many tag-line words and elicits an avalanche of phrases until we're basically repeating the movie script, including corrections to misspoken words.

Your task here is very simple. Consider the following coords:

N42 20.ABC and W090 38.DEF

There are 6 lines of the movie script here for you to review. After each phrase, there is a number. Put the lines in the order in which they are spoken in the movie. You will then create the correct sequence of numbers to correspond to the last three digits of the latitude followed by the last three digits for the longitude. You might be able to come up with this off of an internet search, but wouldn't a freshly popped bowl of buttered popcorn, your favorite beverage of choice and the DVD for this movie be a more enjoyable way to solve this puzzle? A perfect way to spend a rainy or snowy day. Here are the lines. Good luck!!

An army which carries the Ark before it, is invincible. (3)

Shoot them. Shoot them both. (8)

Asps. Very dangerous. You go first. (2)

Throw me the idol, I throw you the whip! (8)

It's not the years, Honey. It's the mileage. (9)

They're digging in the wrong place! (2)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

As for the cache, the terrain is a bit upward and the container is hidden from your initial angle of approach. But, thanks to its size, you should have no trouble tracking it down once you have the correct coords. The interior of the cache contains a number of partitions. Feel free to inspect any or all. Pictures and/or feedback are always welcome. Who knows? If this cache is enjoyed, it may be the beginning of many, because we've got LOTSA movies to showcase! Enjoy!
