This cache has been archived.

gadget63: Well, this is it. Stage One went missing again. This time it was violently ripped from the cable I used to tether it to a tree. All what is left was the mangled ammo can handle. Someone really doesn't want this cache here. I did retrieve the final and will use it again. Thanks to all for the wonderful logs and all the favorite points.

Geocache Description:



This is a two stage multi cache. The first stage is a simple field puzzle. The final is less than 500m away. Have Fun!

Arthur Jeffries, Ph.D.—a.k.a. Professor Proton— was a down-on-his-luck former children's science show host who was known for demonstrating scientific principles using everyday objects. Proton often would dispense the aphorism, "There is no problem you can't solve, if you use your noggin’.” The Professor Proton theme song lyrics read, "Grab your goggles, put your lab coat on. Here he comes, Professor Proton." His beloved puppet sidekick – Gino The Neutrino – was a blue, anthropomorphized elementary particle with an Italian accent, a mustache, and gondolier costume under a lab coat.





To get to the final stage of this multi geocache. You will need to become Professor Protons assistant. SOOO!! Grab your goggles, put your lab coat on and help Professor Proton finish his Famous "Potato Clock Experiment". Using the diagram below. Complete the Circuits to energize the Digital clock.


Helping Professor Proton will reward you with the clues to locate the final cache location
