Twist-A-Cache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

agltbialik: Goodnight sweet prince.

The final was muggled again (and no one got to find it! I lost $$$ on this one this time), and I think the people who did it will just keep coming back. It doesn't seem welcome there. So, I decided to kill the entire thing since every stage was so intricately placed and linked that changing the location of the final would mean re-fitting the entire cache as a whole.

I have an idea for a similar cache that might be much more muggle proof (at least the steps leading to the final will be) but it will have to be in another area of the city.

Thanks to all that completed this adventure!

Geocache Description:

The SPOILERS in the hints will help you figure out if a stage has been muggled. Use to avoid arousing suspicion or if you're stuck.

This multi requires a LOT of walking. Bring along a pen and pad of paper to keep track of the plot and take notes (and sign logs).
Not recommended for night caching, as it arouses a lot of suspicion.

Lots of muggles, so teamwork can help keep an eye out, but is not necessary.

A muti-staged, branching cache, where you create your own adventure and hopefully find the one true ending to the story.

This cache is inspired by all the Twist-A-Plot books I read as a kid in the 80s. A more popular series of books was the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure stories. Both books had the reader take the pilot seat, letting them make decisions along the way and either coming up with a good or bad ending.

In this multi, you'll be walking and touring my favorite neighborhood in the city, the Inner Sunset, and see the streets that I know and love along the way. Bring a good pair of walking shoes, as you will cover a lot of ground. Along the way, you will find pieces of a story. The decisions you make will lead you to different locations, eventually leading to an ending. Will you be able to find the one, true, good ending?

Enjoy your quest.

Congrats to Halfwaytothestars for completing this adventure and finding the happy ending first! And a special congrats to Postman14 for tackling this story first, finding an ending, and a hilarious story about a hide-a-key! They both get unregistered Travel Bugs to set forth on their own adventures.
