This is an 11 cache long series to celebrate my 1,000 finds after a wonderful and memorable three years since I started Geocaching. This series will give a chance to explore everywhere in and around Deforest, and thoroughly increase your find count. This is a Super Mario themed series, so you will tackle the series by groups, or "worlds". Every world will have two caches in it, and both of those caches will have a letter code in it that will help you get the coordinates to the next two caches in the series. Both caches in each world will have the same code, therefore you will only have to find one of the two in a world in order to move on to the next world. (This is to help cachers move along if one of the caches in the series goes missing.) Each world should be slightly harder as you progress. Once you clear five worlds, you will use all of the codes you have discovered to decode the final coordinates and reach the flagpole. (Which does have an unregistered TB for the FTF and other cool trinkets.)
And be wary of the special little secret I added to spice things up. Somewhere out there, within five feet of one of the caches in this series, is a pill bottle that will be known as the Warp Pipe. It will allow you to skip way ahead and get a huge chunk of the codes you need to get to new worlds and the final flagpole. If you do find it, feel free to sign in if you want and make SWAG trades. But the warp pipe is not considered a Geocache because it is too close to one of the other Geocaches in this series.
But in general, I hope you all get an adventure out of this series and that you will enjoy the places that this will take you to. Every new world you discover will take you to a new place in and around Defo.
This is it. The game starts here. (Or at level 1-2, if that's what you prefer.) And although you have unlimited lives, unlimited quarters, it's up to you to reach the flagpole. Good luck!
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to Greg Hall of the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a notification form. Please print out a paper copy of the notification form, fill in all required information, then submit it to the land manager. The DNR Notification form and land manager information can be obtained at: http://dnr.wi.gov/files/PDF/forms/2500/2500-118.pdf
