This is a tribute to the War of the Roses cache series in York and Lancaster Counties of PA. If you are not familiar with the WOTR cache series, then you really need to get your priorities in order and figure out your goals for geocaching, and just how seriously do you take this job?! Should you be considered for that promotion and raise? Or are you fine floundering in mid-level mediocrity? If you are familiar with WOTR, fantastic! Then you already know about the best waste of time that exists anywhere near home.
A little history of me and the original WOTR series. When I first started caching it was a fairly new series. Those puzzles, caches, and icons on my map sat there and stared back at me, unfound and unattempted, for the better part of 10 years. I would look at the online puzzles with my slack jaw gaping, drooling on my keyboard, until finally my computer short circuited and burnt down the neighborhood. Recently, when the world broke, I had plenty of time to try the WOTR series again. The online puzzles were treacherous. But with a bit of help and lots of time on my hands, I endured.
I decided to make a parody series, as a respectful tribute, and to pay praise to the WOTR series. I am calling it the Feuding About Royal Things series, the FART series. If you are reading this, drop me a message to say hello :) Sorry, nothing more to be found this way.
The only thing I can think of that the 2 caching series have in common is they can both be found on www.geocrashing.com. Other than that, they are completely different. WOTR currently contains a 7-puzzle series before you get that satisfied feeling of completing a checklist. One of my all time favorite sensations is the feeling of completion. It really scratches the itch of my CDO. FART is currently just three caches, barely considered a series. Although, as a child, television raised me. And one of my teachers, Professor Cartoon Man, taught me that 3 is indeed the magic number. The WOTR online puzzles are some of the hardest, most insanely clever cache puzzles I have attempted. FART is not that clever. In fact, I simply stole their puzzle and made the solution equal what I thought was the best answer. Meaning, it is the cleverest thing I thought to try on my own, before finally figuring out how the WOTR owner wanted it solved. After solving the online puzzle portion, the WOTR series then takes you to a beautiful spot in the woods, so beautiful that I can’t believe some of these places are only 30-60 minutes from home. Once there you search for a brilliantly crafted field puzzle. The field puzzles are works of art on their own. After solving the below online puzzle, FART will take you to a bison tube, maybe a film canister if you are lucky. Everything about the WOTR series is amazingly crafted, fun, interesting, and all-around challenging. Everything about FART is stinky, stolen, and poorly planned. But that is what a parody is. I did check with a guy in an alley who said he was an attorney, I am safe from prosecution under the parody laws of our country.
