Geocache Description:

Welcome to CONTROL Headquarters. Listen to instructions provided by Agent 86! When the message is over, place this antique gadget on the special receptacle provided. This geocache is easy to access with no force required.

Deduce the code and defeat the Cone of Silence!

When complete with the transaction, replace the gizmo to reset this geocache for the next Special Agent.

There are no booby traps present and plenty of room for trade items and trackables, so bring them if you have them, to share with other Agents! If you happen to have junior agents or unresponsive spouses, then bring them along as well to win them over for CONTROL!

PLEASE DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING WITH THIS GEOCACHE. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO OPERATE THE CACHE IS PROVIDED. IF YOU ENTER A WRONG CODE 3 CONSECUTIVE TIMES, THEN HANG UP AND WAIT 60 SECONDS TO RESET. YOU MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH!

TO PRESERVE THE FUN FOR OTHER AGENTS, PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY PICTURES OF THE CACHE! If you like this cache, let others know by awarding a favorite point!


The Chief (Dale) and Agent 99 (Sally) are very friendly and have provided permission for this special cache to reside at this Covert CONTROL location for the Special Agents of the Geocaching Community. Beware of other KAOS Agents. A collection of marauding muggles, the KAOS Agency is actually incorporated in the state of Delaware. Allegedly, they did that for tax purposes! CONTROL agents are world reknown for unusual ways to escape enemy KAOS agents. Rumor has it that a WELLS FARGO stagecoach drop box, labeled GC1MP9G, is just such a novel escape method! Make your way there to complete an ancillary mission nearby.

Head Quarters looks forward to your visit and requests that you attempt this geocache during the following Posted Hours ONLY:


Monday - Saturday: 9 - 4:30 PM
Sunday: 10 -3:00 PM; closed during winter months


For those that live beyond the beautiful Santa Ynez valley, plan accordingly! There are many other great geocaches hidden in the Valley to fill idle time during off hours. Local hotels, restaurants, wineries, and curio shops are popular destinations with much to see and do for young and old agents alike.

Now complete this mission Special Agent!
