In Search of the Holy Geocache Mystery Cache
cliptwings: This makes me very sad. The parchment of yucca is dead and no longer standing. Since this was a significant feature of the trek, I can't continue the quest. It was a fun one to put together.
In Search of the Holy Geocache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
With apologies to Monty Python, the theme of this cache is taken from "In Search of the Holy Grail." You will begin your journey at the entrance to Catalina State Park, in Oro Valley. At this point, you will follow the video instructions of Cliptwings, "King of Oro Valley," to reach the final stage. Good luck, Sir Knight!
I really love the Monty Python movies, especially the Holy Grail. I have a lot of the lines memorized, but then, doesn't everybody? This was my chance to apply some of the inventive humor of that movie to my own selfish whims.
Your objective today will be a little different from the standard "follow the arrow to ground zero" geocache. You will download a short video of me and Pooh Pooh that will guide you from the parking lot to the final stage of the cache. The production mimics a couple of scenes from that famous movie, except the actors have no talent. Just go with it, okay?
The link below goes to the necessary file. Upload the file onto your favorite video device and go to the posted coordinates. From there, start the video and I will join you and guide you on your way.
Alert: You are about to download a file that contains further details needed to find this geocache. As the cache owner, I represent that this file is safe to download although it has not been checked by Groundspeak or by the reviewer for possible malicious content.

Since Geocaching.com guidelines require GPS navigation to the cache, use the following as a backup to the video: Once you get to the "Parchment of Yucca," go 84 feet on a mag heading of 078 degrees to reach the cache.
Oops, almost forgot to tell you that entrance to the park is $7 as of January 2014. But as any local will tell you, it's well worth the bucks.
