Do you have what it takes to undergo this most unusual and yet most rewarding cache series? If you do, then you will be rewarded with a special shape made of smiles on your map that we’re sure will be near and dear to your heart. This series is intense. It required two area cachers to put it together; (at the time of placement) HTBob has been caching for 5 years and cachert12 has cached for just over a year. It took the experience and freshness of both to create this most memorable series. There are 14 total caches in this series with Traditional, Multi, and of course, Mystery Caches - in containers ranging from micro to bucket sized. Something for everyone, as they say. You will need to use all the tips, hints, and tricks you’ve learned from your caching experiences to be able to sign all the logs in this grueling series.
Disclaimer: Always exercise common sense and caution while geocaching. Geocaching and related activities in any form could have you teetering on the brink of danger. Any person attempting these caches and/or any related activities assumes all liabilities and personal responsibility for any and all damages and injuries. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions – why are you geocaching in the first place?
Most of all, Have Fun! And as usual, you must SIGN THE LOG to claim a find. Unsigned logs will be deleted.
Proper permission has been granted for each cache in this series, so cache with confidence, even on private property.
NOW FOR THE ACTUAL CACHE DESCRIPTION:
Vertigo: a dizzying sensation of tilting within stable surroundings or of being in tilting or spinning surroundings - lightheadedness, loss of balance, spinning head, unsteadiness. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
All coordinates are N40°, W83°.
Stage 1: You will find the full coordinates for Stage 2 here, if you keep your head up.
Stage 2: AA = the final 2-digit number found here. BCCD = the number in the first line. From the N coordinate here, subtract 0.0AA, then add 0.00A. From the W coordinate here, subtract 0.B(C/2)(C-B).
Stage 3: This is a situation similar in a particular way to Stage 1. Coordinates for the cache location are as follows (using one particular group of words): E = the total number of times the first letter appears in all four words. F= the number of unique words found here. G = the number of unique vowels in the shortest word.
Stage 4 = N coordinate here + 0.0FE, W coordinate here – 0.B(AG)(D-E). Get your equilibrium back, go to Stage 4, sign the log, and have a nice day. Now, that wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be, was it?
