Raiders of the Lost Ark Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Scottish Cavalryman: Unfortunately, the Ark of the Covenant (final) was stolen yet again. At this point, I have decided to retire this cache, as most people in GCHR who wanted to find it already have. At this point, the long and hard handmade stages are going missing more often than the cache is being found, so I'm archiving this one. Thanks to all those who found, loved, and favorited this cache. I truly enjoyed making it and reading your logs. Keep your eyes out for other unique Scottish Cavalryman caches coming to a GZ near you...

Geocache Description:

Winner of the Best Multicache Silver Hidey Award and Most Creative Bronze Hidey Award

Step into the shoes of Indiana Jones, in the first of a series of geocaches based on the greatest action adventure hero of all time. Following the 1981 hit movie, this cache will take you on an adventure to find the Headpiece of the Staff of Ra and then use it to find the hidden location of the Well of Souls, the final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant.

Inspired by a similar series in the Augusta Georgia area, this series will take the cacher on an adventure following in the footsteps of the great adventurer, Indiana Jones. Explore exotic locations, experience the thrill of the hunt, and solve the puzzles of the ancients to find the greatest treasures of all time.

Facing overwhelming odds, with Nazis on your tail, you embark on a journey to find the Staff of Ra and use the Headpiece to determine the location of the Lost Ark. Only using the headpiece can you find the one true location of the Well of Souls, the final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. Once the one true location of the Lost Ark is revealed, search out the Well of Souls and discover the treasure that awaits those brave enough to find it.

Good luck on your adventure!

Replace caches exactly as you find them, and please do not take the staff, headpiece, map, or ark from their GZ locations - they are all critical to other future cachers' enjoyment of this adventure. Thanks.

Note: The easiest route is not always a straight line - use roads, trails, and cuts to get you within a couple hundred feet of the caches.

Congratulations to X11fitter for FTF!
