Geocache Description:

A thoroughly annoying multicache, with no consideration of the high price of gasoline whatsoever! You are warned!


First to Find Hound #6
Twisty Maze of Little Lampskirts All Alike

The Cache Title refers to one of the finest early computer games: ZORK


Recently in the GONIL area, it has been a race to get the FTF on a new cache, with it usually going to the same person all the time, or another well-known cacher getting the honor and moving on. Now they have to work a little harder to keep their title! As part of the new series, FTF Hound, the cacher who gets the FTF has to keep the series going by placing a new cache with the tag "FTF Hound" within 30 days or repercussions will follow (To Be Determined, but nothing too harsh) The cache can be any size or type, but it has to be hidden within the 6 county area (Cook, Lake, DuPage, Will, McHenry, or Kane).

The Cache Itself

This is not a nice easy cache. You will enjoy the twisted trip... or not... but you will have a twisted trip... between a number of stages of this Multicache. Most of the stages are easy drive-ups... terrain 1... but some are not. Most of the stages are accessable 24/7, but some are not. Most of the stages have easy parking very close, but some do not. Deal with it... or go find a nice film can in a lampskirt. Of course, you'll probably do that for this cache, too. Again, and again.

The final is not a micro in a lampskirt... it's a medium-sized Lock-n-Lock container, capable of holding moderately interesting swag. It's somewhat harder to reach than your typical lampskirt, too. There could even be some mud.

Seekers note: Each intermediate stage will simply give the coordinates for the next stage. In some cases, to keep the intermediate stages smaller, the coordinates will be given without degrees. In that case, you should assume that the same degrees for the current stage should apply to the next stage. In other cases, the degrees will be specified. Keep moving, there's a long way to go.

Many lampskirts are surrounded by muggles. Use appropriate stealth. Do not share your information with others. You've taken the journey, let them enjoy the ride too. Obvious teaming efforts will result in the deletion of the logs of all involved.

Don't forget to use the Illinois Tollway... the state needs your toll money! Please drive safely... it's only a First To Find!

Good luck, sucker.
