Rock the Casbah - Maltese Style

Yep, it's yet another night cache in the haunted woods, where the swamps hold the secrets of the banned music and musicians, not to mention the occasional Nocturnal Unicorn and Pink Flamingo. And maybe a stray Killer Klown.

This night cache is not for the faint of heart. Zoe minus Daisy (Z-D) recommends that you proceed with extreme caution. Watch out for trip hazards, thorns, skeeters, ticks, vines, poisonous plant life, and poisonous wildlife...and maybe more...

Also note that you should consider taking extra batteries and plenty of hydration. It will probably take twenty minutes or longer depending on how well developed the geotrail becomes, but not nearly as long as the archived but legendary 7 Realms of Darkness (GC211D5) by Kelinore & JayB10.

Geo-pup Zoe was sniffing along the trail as it was getting dark, trying her best to find a copy of Rock the Casbah or a member of the Clash, and she thought she heard the distant screeches of Sid Vicious or maybe the fast paced catchy chords of the Ramones. Then she decided maybe it was the distant sounds of Green Day or a lingering Flamingosaurus from 2025. Then Zoe remembered how Daisy would tell her the stories she heard from Cheech about nocturnal unicorns and decided it was time to get out of the woods.

As usual, the trail loosely follows the path left by Zoe as she ran from the scary noises. However, part of the trail also follows the path taken in the past by Daisy, who wasn't afraid of scary noises, but was absolutely terrified of whatever creature was making the scary noises, so she would run from the sounds too, but not always on the same path as Zoe.

There may be places where the trail splits, but all trails will lead to the final.

As always with a one-way night cache, you may want to turn on breadcrumbs or other tracking methods to find your way back, or just Slagle your way to the starting coords, or just head out of the woods...but beware the Children of the Corn (or soybeans)  :-)

This night cache was placed over numerous days and nights using methods learned from Handyman. To the best of our knowledge, no musicians, unicorns, flamingos, or clowns were injured during the placing of this cache.
