National Treasure - Tube of Secrets Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

vballhjs: I just cant seem to find the time to rebuild the parts for this so sadly I need to archive it so I'm not taking up space for another possible cache. Maybe someday down the line I will recreate it. Thanks for all the favorite points.

Geocache Description:

This multi-cache is based (loosely) on the National Treasure movies. To solve it you will need 2 important clues from the two National Treasure movies (see hints).  You can watch the movies or just use the internet to find the scripts!  An extra sheet of paper, a writing utensil, and a pair of tweezers may also be helpful in your hunt. Please respect all the stages, put everything back like you found it and beware of muggles!  Enjoy!

General Notes: There is parking relatively close to each stage. Stage 2 is on private property but permission has been given for the stage placed there by the business owner. Daylight caching only please!

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the bands of boredom which have bound them, and to assume among the powers of the earth and the stars, the station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to a game, a hobby, of geocaching, requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to search said land for a hidden bounty.
 
But when one member of a long train of cachers, pursuing invariable the same objects, having decrypted many a code to find them, realizes it is his right, it is his duty, to throw off doubts of dnfs, and provide a new puzzle for his fellow cachers delight
 
I invite all my fellow cachers to embark on a new treasure hunt, to solve a new puzzle, in the spirit of our founding fathers.
 
Whether by innate character, or the other reasons you took to hike through the woods, brave the parking lots of the local mall, or even make a quick stop along a guard rail on a lonely stretch of road, or the weight of boredom that falls upon you, I believe you all to be honorable men and women and I’m glad to call you my fellow geocachers.
 
Now, although there are those that believe that not all caches are created equal, I humbly submit that any cache, conceived in fun, and hidden with purpose shall be worthwhile and henceforth be found and a smiley rewarded.
 
While, in a larger sense, I can not dedicate, I can not consecrate, I can not hallow this ground. The brave men and women, who searched and hid here, have consecrated it, far above my poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor probably find what I have hidden here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the present cachers, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who cached here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored caches we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their many hours of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these archived caches shall not have been hidden in vain—that this pasttime, under our watch, shall have a new birth of freedom and fun—and these geocaches of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

 
I apologize for my butcher job of some historic speeches and documents but my only hope is this inspires you to hide a cache of your own. 

Congrats to CMDSLB for the FTF!
