We first started caching last year, and was instantly hooked. We soon decided we wanted to put out some of our own as well. But we could never decide on what type to do. This is our first cache and our first series as well. This series is dedicated to our favorite movie of all time. The 1987 classic love story, The Princess Bride. There are a total of 13 traditional caches in all. Each cache is themed from a different part of the movie with parts of the script on each. And as such, they are hidden in places that relate to certain aspects of the cache name. So you will be doing a little traveling around the valley for this series. Despite the descriptions of the contents of some of the caches, there is nothing dangerous or life threatening in any way. We tried to make this as close to the movie and still being fun too. All caches will be family friendly and accessible by all. We want you to enjoy this series as much as we have in putting it together. In one of the caches, we have also placed a copy of the movie as well. But unless you do the entire series, you won’t know which one it is or was lol. But if someone has already taken it before you get to it, the cache will be marked so you know where it was.
The only thing that I ask is that who so ever gets the FTF cache with the movie in it, PLEASE DO NOT MENTION IT IN YOUR POST!!!!!! But please mention it in the log book in the cache. To keep others guessing. The
Movie is yours for the taking......ENJOY!!!!!!
Vizzini: So, it is down to you, and it is down to me. [Pause] If you wish her dead, by all means keep coming closer.
Man in black: Let me explain--
Vizzini: There’s nothing to explain. You’re trying to kidnap what I’ve rightfully stolen.
Man in black: Perhaps an arrangement can be reached? [keeps moving forward]
Vizzini: There will be no arrangement and you’re killing her.
Man in black: Well if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.
Vizzini: I’m afraid so. I can’t compete with you physically, and you’re no match for my brains.
Man in black: You’re that smart?
Vizzini: Let me put it to you this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.
Man in black: Really....in that case I challenge you to a battle of wits.
Vizzini: For the princess?
Man in Black: [nods]
Vizzini: TO THE DEATH?
Man in black: [nods]
Vizzini: I accept!!!!!!
Man in black: Good. Then pour the wine.
Vizzini pours wine in 2 goblets as man in black takes out a small brown tube.
Man in black: Inhale this but do not touch.
Vizzini: [sniffs] I smell nothing.
Man in black: What you do not smell is called Iocane powder, it is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.
Vizzini: Hmm.
Man in black: turns away from Vizzini with the goblets, to pour the poison in. Goblets replaced on the table, one in front of each. All right then. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.
The road is a gravel well road. well maintained.
