This intercache is an homage to one of the very first computer games called "The Colossol Cave". The game was written in FORTRAN and resided on many mainframe computers starting in 1976. I played it myself in the early 1980's (recall there was no internet, no smart phones back then - so how else to goof off at work on a computer while trying to look busy. In the game, the player controls a character through simple text commands to explore a cave rumored to be filled with wealth. Players earn predetermined points for acquiring treasure and escaping the cave alive, with the goal to earn the maximum amount of points offered For more info see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure
The intercaching platform does not offer some of the flexibility of a boat load of *IF statements. In my game you cannot die, cannot drop or lose objects, and a bunch of other conditional situations - hence "not so" colossal. A few tips about game play. There's an entrance to a cave here. Do you dare to go in? Next to the cave entrance is a torch and some matches. If you go in the cave be sure to look around and gather items in each new area - there might be stuff you need to survive your trip! You will do just about anything for a geocache find won't you? Keep your geosenses sharp: there are tips and hints along the way if you pay attention. Many of your challenges will involve using items (nouns) you have collected along the way. Consider the different things you can with or to the object. Most answers are 2 words - i.e [verb noun]. Often "use" works as the verb. For example "use crystal". Other objects you may just have to guess what the verb is i.e "throw ax". The action you take with the items are ones you could a actually do - so "fly broom" won't be an answer. Your goal to to retrieve the ammo can that holds the coordinates to the next stage of the physical (real) geocache for https://coord.info/GC7CQM7 and exit the cave. Also as you go through the cave I will tend to describe the next region. You cannot "see' it as a pick or access it if you don't have possession of the correct object to get past that stage. For example: if you don't pick up the torch you won't even see the cave entrance as a visible pick on the screen. On the other hand if you CAN see the next stage and you are given a question you DO have the right tools in your possession - you just need to figure out the right way to use them. This is a "location-less" intercache - I wouldn't hit the show locations on map or on graph button. No useful info there and might hang the game. Be prepared for traveling down dark, wet passages. You need to use a torch and flashlight to find your way. You'll need to deal to all sorts of creatures living in the cave. Good Luck.

HINT: You arrive at the east end of a parking lot Go east into the woods about 60 feet and look for the creek that flows into the cave....The log is a magnetic "whiz bang" (soda bottle top) about 300 feet down the cave attached to the top. Look for the small cement cave to the right.
