Geocache Description:

There is no cache at the posted coordinates.

Greetings. You have been selected to become a member of the world’s most secret and elite club by the Supreme Council of Bones. If you choose to accept, you must consummate your membership by signing your name upon the scroll that is hidden somewhere deep within the dark forests of the Black Hills. The path to its location is rough and rugged. In fact, there really isn't a path, nor is it a groomed trail. There will be obstacles in front, above, and below you; invisible arms trying to remove your head, and demons grabbing your feet from the subterranean depths. Plan accordingly.

You will need to make your journey at night, when it is fully dark. Therefore, to successfully complete this you will need a powerful torch to illuminate the way. You will need your GPS so you won't get lost. Cast aside all fear. Your destiny awaits.

Travel to the coordinates listed above. As you approach, you will come to a closed barbed wire gate. You will need to park here, and abandon the comfort of your vehicle. You must carefully pass through that gate on foot. Be sure to close it after you pass or repass, as large nonhuman life forms may be lurking in the darkness nearby, and it is your duty to NOT let them escape. Standing next to the tall, dark object at the listed coordinates, slowly shine your light ahead of you and to either side. In the far distance, you will see 2 reflectors. Walk to that spot. From there, continue your journey following the series of single reflectors until you come to 3 in the shape of a triangle. Standing at that exact location, stop, turn around, and look behind you for 3 vertical reflectors in close proximity to each other about head high. That, is your destination.

If and when you finally arrive, do not disturb or remove any of the solemn artifacts surrounding the object that contains the scroll. What you see here is a closely guarded secret. You have an obligation to never reveal this location to anyone, under the strictest penalties. Carefully remove the scroll from its container, and sign your name. After you perform this solemn ritual, carefully place the scroll back inside, tightly secure the lid and return it to its rightful spot, taking care that it remains protected and well-hidden with the camouflage object provided.

You are now on your own back to the place whence you came. Hopefully, you'll make it back alive.

Disclaimer: The description is satire. There is no connection between this cache, the cache owners, and any real or imagined clubs, organizations, fraternities, or secret societies - past, present, or future. The cache is not on private property, it is well within the boundaries of the Black Hills National Forest, as is the path to it. You assume and accept all risks involved in seeking this cache. Always exercise common sense and caution. Have fun.
