Welcome to a very different cemetery tour of Charles Evans Cemetery. I definitely took some "artistic license" in creating this Adventure Lab and Bonus Cache. The Adventure Lab will bring you to five locations needed to solve this mystery puzzle. Those who know me know that my bonus caches are not a gift but are designed to be challenging (Difficulty = 3). This Mystery Cache is not a requirement for completing the Adventure Lab, but is just that, a bonus geocache that will sharpen your puzzle skills. Please no photos posted from any of the locations, including ground zero. Good Luck.
While visiting the cemetery please give it the respect it deserves (Dawn to Dusk access).
Ancient legends speak of mythological labyrinths transforming themselves over the centuries to look like cemeteries. One such legend mentions a labyrinth hidden in Berks County that is accessed via a "sand-stone enterance way". The entrance is watched by the Greek God Zeus, the original OG, and is known to be protected by five Greek Goddesses (GCA0K39). If you research deeper though, there are also ancient GODS of OTHER ORIGINS that reside there as well.
For your quest, you must seek out these other Ancient Gods of Water, War, Law and Order, Wisdom, and the Sun, who are located within the Adventure Lab Labyrinth walls. Did I mention they have turned to stone over the centuries?
For this Bonus, you MUST complete the GODS OF THE LABYRINTH Adventure Lab first to retrieve the 5 KEYS. Then seek the BOWL OF ATHENA & HEPHAESTUS, and insert the keys into the puzzle that holds the secret location to THE GODS LOGBOOK, hidden at THE WORLD TREE. Good Luck!

Note: Theseus67 recommends doing both the GODS (GCAP0WZ) and GODDESSES (GCA0K39) Series of Adventure Labs and Bonus Caches independent of each other, as not to make it too confusing. You have been warned.
On April 8, 2024, the Moon's shadow swept across North America, treating millions to a breathtaking view of a total solar eclipse, brining joy to many that observed it. Seems only appropriate that this cache was also published on that same date. Ancient Greeks had a different spin on this celestial event. They believed that eclipses were a sign the gods were angry with humans and that the Sun would abandon Earth, bringing untold misery. Glad the times have changed.
PLEASE NOTE: If you happen to notice one of my caches needs a little maintenance while you’re out exploring, I’d truly appreciate the help. If the log is full or soggy, feel free to replace it with a fresh one. And if it looks like the container is missing or damaged, you’re welcome to leave a temporary pill bottle or any small container you have on hand. Just drop me a note so I can follow up. Any little bit of help you offer keeps the caches going strong and helps you keep earning those smileys along the way. Happy caching! 😊
