Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is a Two Phase Multi-Cache that requires you to extend your limbs and extend your mind.

Few people are aware that Spiderman and Spiderman's Uncle are direct descendents of Gollum.* Spiderman's Uncle is a crafty fellow who has hidden a cache for you.

Phase 1: The above coordinates take you to the NorthEast edge of one of his artificial caves. From the coordinates, walk south into the middle of the first cave. (Stay on the sidewalk.) On your left you will see that the cave wall extends away from you as it goes up to the ceiling. The wall is divided into 9 major sections. From the coordinates, go to the eighth section. Up you go!

At the top edge of the eighth section are one or two sticks and a blue piece of metal. The piece of blue painted metal has Spiderman's Uncle's name on it, containing 6 letters. His name is also the clue to where the cache is hidden, nearby.

You will have to extend your arms and legs to climb up there. There is a lot of friction. It is not slippery. I went up and down with no problem wearing dress shoes. Just make sure you don't have slippery soles. Coming down requires that you again extend you arms and extend your legs and back down slowly.

Please replace the metal bar with Spiderman's Uncle's NAME SIDE DOWN and one of the sticks (if available) on top.

Once you get back down, you need to extend your mind to figure out how Spiderman's Uncle's name gives the clue to the nearby cache location.

Phase 2: Cache is easy to spot for a geocacher but well camouflaged. Cache is log only. No room for anything else.

Opps, I forgot to leave a pencil!

If you see trash in the area, please remove at least one piece and report it in your log. If there is no trash, please log, "Trash Status: Clean".

*If you don't already know who Gollum is, you don't deserve to know. Besides, Gollum is still alive after all these centuries and he says not to tell you. He is one creature I don't want to cross! Whatever you do, don't wear any rings around him, Precious.
