Geocache Description:


ATTENTION, TREASURE HUNTERS! YES, THAT MEANS YOU!!! Do *not* go looking for this cache anywhere near a house or a wooden bench with a sign that says "prive." The container is *not* there. Do not approach the wooden bench unless you have a seaplane waiting for you on the canal and are prepared to run for your life! You may actually have poison darts, spears, and/or empty wine bottles and Dutch curse words launched at your head! Also: you'll be leaving without actually finding the cache. Consider yourselves warned. If y'all misbehave and do not heed these warnings, the Geocache Gods and/or the Ark Cache itself might make your heads explode. Also: the Geocache will need to be permanently disabled. 

========================


If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones! If adventure has a Geocache, well...we’re not entirely sure.

Welcome to the second Indiana Jones-themed Geocache in the Leiden area. You won’t need Sallah, Marion, or a team of diggers to find it and you won’t need to speak Hovitos. Even better: your face is unlikely to melt off once you open its container ala the Ark in a certain 1981 action-adventure film.

People *were* meant to disturb this Geocache and it’s very much of this earth. So there's no need to bring along a bag of sand for a switcheroo or to overdress like an American. This is the wrong occasion for that kinda thing and you might get a bit dirty to boot. Festering McDonalds containers or beer cans standing between you and what you’re trying to find are best avoided, but that should go without saying.

The chances of encountering tons of snakes, Belloq, or a gigantic boulder are also pretty minimal. HOWEVER, you may have to wait for people to stop sitting on top of where the cache is located. There could be some grumpy ducks or coots hanging around as well. You may also need to be on the lookout for curious dog walkers, kayakers, university students, and other nefarious Muggles who are known to populate the area.

Are you brave and bold enough to go in search of this cache in such a busy area? Remember, it’s not the years, it’s the mileage! And don’t go digging in the wrong place! Uh, actually, you won’t need to do any digging at all. If you start digging, you’re doing it wrong! 

One last thing: please do not toss the cache container, even if someone is willing to toss you a whip!
