Geocache Description:

Premium Membership Series

To put it simply, somewhere out there right now, is my BONUS 15th cache. Contained within that cache is a FTF prize of $30! Not only that, but there is a 2nd to find prize of $20, and a 3rd to find of $10! (PRIZES FOUND!) How could you resist? So this is what you do:

1. Find each of my 14 caches in the surrounding area.

2. Each cache will contain either a BONUS clue (puzzle or otherwise), or directions to an offset cache with a clue.

3. Compile all the 14 clues to discover the location of the final 15th BONUS cache.

4. You can work as a group or individually; the only thing I ask it that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to finders be Premium Members.

It’s that easy, so get cracking! And I hope you have as good a time as I had putting this together. GOOD LUCK!

This is a stand-alone cache with an offset micro for the “BONUS” clue. You are looking for a medium sized Tupperware-type container. Although I didn’t see any, pi is possible; and unless you are caching in winter I would say ticks and chiggers are a definite. Though they may do better than adults in this type of area, the kids should be watched very carefully here. Tree coverage could be a problem as well.

Now on to the positives, this I believe has been my favorite cache site to run across; I love it and all its aspects. The name describes how I felt when I first came across this place. For some reason it reminds me of Superman’s (that is Christopher Reeve’s) hide out at the North Pole, only rocks instead of ice. Then for obvious reasons it made me think of “The Lord of the Rings.” The offset is pretty cool as well.

Please and thank you for placing the cache back just the way you found it. And please do not take the laminated paper with the coordinates and clue for the “BONUS” offset.
