Geocache Description:


DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES. THEY ARE NOT THE GEOCACHE LOCATION. To find out where the geocache is, you will need to figure out where the “bottle” is hidden.

 

This is the fourth cache in a series based on our family’s love of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, and is a tribute to Dionysus, God of wine, frivolity and madness, and mediocre player of pinochle. If you were a resident of Camp Half-Blood, however, you simply knew him as “Mr. D.”  

When he was assigned to his 100-year term as Camp Director, he was also stripped of his right to enjoy wine, and suffers on a steady supply of Diet Coke. But, unknown to Zeus, he has hidden on of his remaining bottles of vintage vino somewhere in Fairfax, Virginia.

If you want to enter your name on the most “godly” wine club mailer in the Mid Atlantic, you will fist need to locate this bottle featuring the Symbol of Dionysus, and open it to find the cache and sign the log.

A notepad in Mr. D’s office said that the cache was currently located at “N 38.?????º, W 77.?????º” and had a reference to “The Good Old Days before Camp Half-Blood” but there wasn’t much more to go on than that. Perhaps he was referring to the other camps where he has been a counselor in Hergertswiesen, Germany and Little Mountain, South Carolina.

Happy Hunting
