Searching For Pan Multi-Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

tdubs4200: As some previous cachers said, the 2nd stage's lock is broken/set to the wrong combo. Will take home for repairs and may be a while until I can get a new lock for stage 2.

People who were planning/want to attempt this cache while it is disabled, please privately message me for the 3rd stage coordinates. (If I tell you this info, do NOT tell what I tell you to other cachers for the sake of other's enjoyment.)

Geocache Description:


Welcome to the 6 stage Searching For Pan multi!

Make sure to sign in pen as "The pen is mightier than the sword." -Rick Riordan

Your goal is to help Grover find Pan after he went missing thousands of years ago. Pan is the god of shepherds, hunters, and the wilds of nature. Pan is basically the nature god. He is always depicted as a satyr and is often with animals or a musical instrument. Embark on a journey with Grover to bring back Pan.

Posted coordinates lead you to stage 1. There is a clue in stage 1 that leads you to stage 2 and so on.

It is important to know how to unlock the lock on stages 2, 4 and 6 in the series. Simply find the side with the lines between the numbers, put in the solved code, and press the left side in towards the middle to unlock. Codes for stages 2,4 and 6 are in the prior stage's puzzle.

Only log "Found It" when you have found and signed the log on the 6th stage (the final).

You will need your phone! (If you don't use it already) It will be useful to take photos of clues, google help, and whatever else phones are useful for.

The loop is about a 2.1 mile hike with one short challenging uphill.

Any questions on anything, feel free to contact me via message center on the geocaching app or website.

Please do not take any of the laminated papers!
