Real Gone | Metropolitan Glide Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

seldom|seen: Putting one of my many maintenance challenging series to bed. This series contains some of my earliest puzzle creations, foreshadowing the plethora of S|S creations to follow.

As the years have progressed and my time and zeal for the sport has wained, so has the experience of the active geocache community, particularly when you work so hard to solve these puzzle and are then meet with unfulfilling and often unmaintained physical finals.

As tough as it is to let these go when I reflect on time and energy invested for the benefit of those who appreciated the same, I do have to accept that the experience created out of necessity to place a physical final (90% of my caches would be virtuals, if they were allowed to be) has soiled the experience once associated with finding log sheets to sign.

The S|S flag has been at half mast for a good half decade and it's time to take it down out of respect for the community. Thanks for finding these and your wonderful logs. This is the beginning of a long painful archiving process for hundreds of caches and I appreciate your patience and I put many to bad and ferret out those that I can continue to monitor and maintain.

If anybody is eager to adopt a series, feel free to PM me.

Geocache Description:


Are you ready!
Are you ready!
Are you ready!

Knocky Parker told Bowlegged Sal
They all know how to kick it in Cal
They're playing this dope and this-a money tune
Dancing baby with a 7 mile broom
Things are bulging out the rafters like hell
Down there at the Hush Hotel&
They're jumping right out of their seats,
dancing to the bran' new beat

Do the Metropolitan Glide

Another Real Gone cache. This one is placed on the outskirts of the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Downtown Appleton.

The construction of the PAC was a grand accomplishment being built in a record-setting 25 month period and coming in well under proposed budget. There was even a photo book written specifically about the construction of the PAC called "The Art of Labor" that tells the incredible story from the laborers point of view. Copies of the book are available at the local library for reference if you cannot find answers on-line. Construction of the PAC also coincided with the renovation and transformation of Appleton's downtown into a major entertainment and nightlife destination. If you're from out of town we hope you will take some time to see what Appleton has become, to sample all the music and entertainment is has to offer and maybe see a show at the PAC.


LISTED COORDINATES ARE NOT THE FINAL CACHE COORDINATES.
Do not hunt for the cache at the listed coordinates unless you want to be hit by a car!

To find the final cache, you will need to solve the crossword puzzle. The letters in the crossword puzzle represent a digit in the final cache coordinates, they do not represent any part of the word solution to the puzzle. Once you solve the clues, substitute the letter of the alphabet with its numeric position in the alphabet. Then substitute the coordinate letter with the corresponding puzzle number for that letter to get the final coordinates which are:

N44°1A.BCD
W88°2E.FGH
