Geocache Description:



FTF Awards

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the coordinates above. They take you to a very unnecessary roundabout where you can drive in circles and imitate the London scene from "European Vacation". However, if you want to find this cache, I don't recommend going there; I suggest solving the puzzle instead.
 

A subliminal message is a signal or message designed to pass below the "normal" limits of perception. For example, it might be a sound inaudible to the conscious mind but audible to the unconscious or deeper mind. It might be an image transmitted briefly and unperceived consciously and yet perceived unconsciously. In the everyday world, it has often been suggested that subliminal techniques are used in advertising and for propaganda purposes (e.g. political party broadcasts).

Often, "subliminally" planted concepts about a product or company aren't really all that hidden, but openly designed to create an opinion in your mind of a company's abilities or a product's attractiveness. Groundspeak rules preclude me from including company logos, but you surely are familiar with the arrow embedded in a well-known package carrier insignia. Or the number 31 standing out in the moniker of a popular ice cream establishment

Examine the images below to see if you can spot any misdirection or sublimation tricks that the conscious perusal of something, even this cache page perhaps, can persuade the mind to seemingly, or unseemingly, miss (or get) the true message.

Well, there ya go. The final coords for the cache are planted in your mind. All you have to do is explore the depths of your subconscious and find that stash.

Enjoy, happy hunting and good luck spilling your ink. Cache ya later!

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning and effort to create and place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.

Travel Bug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for Travel Bugs and Geocoins. If you take a TB or GC from a cache will you PLEASE ensure it is correctly logged in and out. If you take one that still shows it is somewhere else, please be patient before “grabbing” the item; it does not get its mileage by being grabbed before the last person to drop it has had time to log their placement. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug or coin, please e-mail or message the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue; they will be pleased to hear from you.
