Geocache Description:


Note: Use your best judgement when attempting this cache. You should not attempt during heavy rain. You should also not attempt this cache if you have a fear of confined spaces.

This cache is part of the Harrisonburg Tunnel Series, listed below easiest to hardest:

  1. To The End Of The Line!
  2. The Vault
  3. The Prison
  4. Don't Fear The Dark
  5. Fear The Dark
  6. The Way to Haunted Chasm
  7. Shelob's Lair
  8. The Last (Underground) Crusade

I've made this a Mystery Cache. The 'puzzle' below is simply a checklist to look for on your journey.

Start at the posted coordinates and enter the tunnel. Look for the following landmarks and graffiti, which I've colored appropriately below:

  1. Reach GZ for the "Don't Fear The Dark" cache using that cache page and make the find (optional).
  2. "It Only Gets Brighter"
  3. (Optional): Turn off your flashlight for a few seconds and enjoy looking into the pitch black darkness around you.
  4. You'll see it start to grow lighter and then the metal tunnel ends and drops down into a pool of water. Don't go past this point!
  5. Take a left into the last "side-pipe" on the left before the drop. (WARNING: tunnel very narrow/claustrophobic here).
  6. Continue in the pipe for 5-10' until you reach the first chamber. You have now reached GZ (and the light).

Note: a flashlight is required to make the find.
