The Millennium Cache aka WE4NCS finds #1000!! Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

wimseyguy: Done. I am not maintaining this one properly. The original final stage will be republished as a traditional cache listing.
Anyone who claimed a find on this one after August 2012 is only fooling themselves. They signed a throw down cache with a mini ammo can in a pill bottle. If that's how you fill in your grid more power to you.

Geocache Description:

This cache was placed as a challenge to WE4NCS. His commitment to Geocaching allowed him to find 999 caches in less than 16 months and he was the first NC cacher to reach 1000 finds. To commemorate find #1000 the Committee created this special cache. It is being left in place with a few minor modifications for those who dare to follow in the footsteps of greatness.

Of course this cache had to be a multistage quest to acknowledge the creator of such fine caches as Tour de Crabtree , and Wimberly Trek ATT . WE4NCS was given this list of special equipment to bring but NONE OF IT IS NECESSARY!!! First a full tank of gas, and good road maps of NC and VA, the yellow pages from Rocky Mount, a medium duty portable generator along with 500 feet of extension cord, drills, saws a night vision scope, a Gerber multi tool, a Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum (with extra ammo), a sledge hammer, a chain saw, a ladder, climbing belt and safety harness, a hard hat, safety glasses, work lights, bug spray, rope, gloves, Dremel tool (with assorted bits), Duct tape, battery charger, a pair of FRS radios, the dog, the wife, food, an Atomic clock, first aid kit, water purification kit, propane torch, Palm 515, a G drive, camera, tent, ammo, flack jacket, chisel, boots, hip waders, canoe paddle, mirror, protractor, one large rubber band, one small rubber band, 15 inches of twine, and a shovel. All you need is your GPS, and the ability to think outside the box. These are not your garden variety hides.

The original hint read: Surely you jest. Please don’t call me Shirley. After getting a similar sarcastic hint at another cache when I wanted a hint after 45 minutes of searching I have removed this from the encoded hint. Since so many cachers are now paperless and not really using hints, I am not providing any. This one is supposed to be HARD.

The quest begins at the listed coordinates; there is plenty of parking nearby. Plan on at least 3-4 hours to complete this arduous trek. It may even require multiple visits to the site. The final stage is an ammo can.
