BIGBROTHERBEAR: With my bad knees I'v been out of geocaching for awhile and decided it was time to retire "The Iron Man Series". Thanks to all those who came out to White Water Canyon to tackle this grueling series, and for the kind logs, even though I know before you got to the final you saying a few unkind words about me. It was a great journey but all good things must come to an end. So with the help of some good geocacher's this series has been pulled and it is officially archived.

THIS IS “THE IRON MAN”

“THE IRON MAN” is a test of endurance and the will to push yourself to the limit. The course has been laid out so that you will have to make choices. Do I push through the obstacles or avoid it? Going around the obstacles will add considerable time to the overall time to complete the course. There are 30 caches in the series most are easy to find but present a challenge to get. Team work will overcome most of that. So no tools are necessary if you do this course alone you will need a tool.
The course is set up you must find stage 1 to get the cords to stage 2 and stage 2 will have the cords to stage 3 so on and so forth. Any questions you have about “THE IRON MAN” please feel free to call me or email me before you begin.
After completing ”THE IRON MAN” in one calendar day (SUN UP TO SUN DOWN) your name will be added to the ”THE IRON MAN” wall of masters with the total time it took to complete start to finish. Please be honest with that time. After you have completed ”THE IRON MAN” you will be awarded ”THE IRON MAN” masters badge that you may display on your page with pride.
What if you don't want compete in this challenge it's perfectly fine to do them anyway you like but the remember the caches are rated as series and take in account the distance and time to complete as a whole. ”THE IRON MAN” masters wall and badge are for those who complete in one calendar day(SUN UP TO SUN DOWN). The caches are tethered and built to last, so do your part in replace them as you found them and lid and cap back on tight.
Best of luck
