Cue theme music mostly drums and base sounds

Title scrolls across the screen :  Limbo of the Lost - Devil’s Triangle - Bermuda Triangle 

Black screen fade in, music slows down enter Robert Stack in a black pea coat, white shirt and soft reddish colored tie slowly descending down stairs in a city backdrop using his signature somewhat creepy, spooky, calm and commanding voice.    

Christopher Columbus, William Shakesphere’s The Tempest, USS Cyclops and two other of her sister ships, Flight 19, Marine Sulphur Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Milton Bradley, Atari, Barry Manilow and countless others have somehow been affected by this suspicious and paranormal phenomena. It’s no surprise that “the mystery” around one of the heaviest traveled  shipping areas still captures our attention.

Theme Music ramps up and then fades out. 

The Triangle’s lore has much to do with loss and the story is repeated in our friend Milton Bradley. Yes it is true Mr. Bradley might not have given up his life or much of the company's profits at sea, but his 1976 board game, released in a few different countries, didn’t come out on top. In order to find the missing value of the letter b, figure out the number of color varieties for the boats used in the game. Most felt that the game was a bit ahead of its time with the spinning storm cloud, powered by a spinner and the use of magnets,  and yet others felt that it was a bit too cheaply made and had restricting directions. In either case The Triangle didn’t really bother our friend Milton.   


Vincett Gaddis, a mild journalist from the breadbasket of the nation also left a defining mark on the paranormal phenomenon in his article The Deadly Bermuda Triangle. This was the first time in print someone had labeled this area as such. As stated in the titles at the start of this piece, this is the one that seemed to have stuck. If you're looking for the year the article was published, I believe it was sixty something, it should help you find the value of the letter t. As for a man of high standing in his community of fictional writing buddies you might find Mr. Gaddis to be outstanding. I will leave you to be the judge.    

With all the interesting stories yet to tell why did you feature these two? The story of USS Cyclops is full of excitement and even Flight 19 has pretty exciting ending. I do believe that in all ages a story about suspicious happenings still allows us to have our own theories because of our own personal investigations. Sure you might not come out venture to solve this cache or make it to grab this fun smiley, but you will always be asking yourself How did this happen, What might have caused it to happen, or Why is this so suspicious?  After all the Triangle also holds other excitements, more than mere wrecks and crashes. The Bimini Road which could lead to the lost city of Atlantis is this very area. If that isn’t enough mystery about one Triangle try learning more about the The Devil’s Sea, also known as the Dragon’s Triangle. In any case watch your step, don't jump to conclusions and exam all the avenues of approach. 

Final word of warning, be sure to bring your own pen, this cache has limited space but has room for small trade items. Be aware of four legged friends (horses)and be mindful of your step when at GZ. And Oh and by the way the cache is not located in neither the Atlantic nor the Pacific so no scuba gear is needed!!
