Geocache Description:


Key to the well of souls

It's 1936, GPS's haven't been invented yet, but let's gloss over that point for the time being.

Your mission:  to find the location of the Ark of the Covenant before those dastardly Nazi's do.  It looks as though they've already found the location of Tanis, the city that is said to be the resting place for the Ark.  But you have a piece of the puzzle that they can surely not have; the headpiece from the staff of Ra! The headpiece details the exact method by which to obtain the location of the ark.

Once you've found the first part of this cache you'll have to solve a puzzle, you'll have at your disposal, Indy's diary, the headpiece to the "Staff of Ra", the "Map Room" in which to decipher the co-ordinates and a number of different lengths of staff to help you out. Once you have the puzzle solved, just as in the movie, a beam of light will show you the true location of the ark!  Instructions are included in the cache. 


Be sure to read Indy's diary carefully and completely!

PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS CACHE IN THE RAIN.  THE CONTENTS OF THE PUZZLE COULD BE HARMED.

Parking co-ordinates for the cache are: N 41° 36.703  W 72° 49.383.  Please only pull up to the right of the drive way as the road is private property.  The blue trail follows up this road and then goes off into the woods.

As a special FTF prize to go with the FTF certificate, we have a created a one-of-a-kind golden cache glass:
