Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are fake.  You must solve the puzzle to find the real location.


Joel Goodson is a high school student who lives with his wealthy parents in Chicago. His father wants him to attend Princeton University.

When his parents go away on a trip, Joel is left with explicit instructions not to touch the stereo system and not to use his father's beloved Porsche. On the first night, he raids the liquor cabinet, plays the stereo loudly, and dances around the living room. Later, he and his friend Barry take the Porsche out and drive it recklessly.

The following day, Miles phones a call girl, who turns out to be not exactly what he was looking for. Joel pays her most of the money his parents gave him to leave him alone. But before she leaves, she gives him Lana's number.

Later that night, Joel calls Lana. They spend the evening together. The following morning, Lana asks Joel for payment for her services. Having no money in the house, he goes to the bank, but when he returns, Lana is gone, along with his mother's expensive crystal egg. Joel and Miles find Lana at a restaurant and demand the egg back, but they are interrupted by Lana's pimp, Guido, who pulls a gun. Joel (in his father's Porsche) is chased by Guido, but manages to escape.

The next day, Lana tells Joel that the egg is with the rest of her stuff at Guido's. Joel lets Lana stay at his house while he goes to school. Later, Lana mentions to Joel that his friends should collaborate with her friends to make money. Joel rejects the idea.

That night, Joel, Lana, and some friends go out. They get stoned, and Lana inadvertently moves the shifter of the Porsche out of gear. Moments later, it rolls down the hill and falls into Lake Michigan.

Arriving tardy to school, Joel fails two midterm exams. He pleads his case to the school, however, they have no part of it. He acts out and gets suspended and kicked out of the Future Enterprisers group. He goes to see Lana, and then they decide to throw a "party" to help cover the cost of repairs for the Porsche.

It is a huge success and the house is packed. However, that's the time Princeton wants to interview Joel. It doesn't go as well as he hopes, so Joel plans alternatively for life at the University of Illinois.

The next morning, Joel's house has been robbed. When he calls Lana, Guido tells him that he will let Joel buy back his furniture. Joel buys back all of the furniture, the final piece being the glass egg.

Fortunately, Joel manages to get everything moved back, just as his parents walk in. His mother notices a crack in her egg. Joel accepts responsibility and his father comes up to him and excitedly informs Joel that "Princeton could use a guy like Joel".

Joel meets Lana at a restaurant, Joel reveals that, for his Future Enterprises class, he "deals in human fulfillment" and it has turned quite a profit.
