This cache has been archived.

Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Ironic that even in the world of comics, art imitates life more than life imitates art. The ability to transform into alter-egos is almost always precipitated by the ingestion or injection of some radioactive isotope or a secret super-human serum. We are all familiar with Peter Parker's spider bite, an arachnid laced with the Osborn Industry developed "Oz" super-drug (which coincidentally also gave the Green Goblin and the Hobgoblin their dark powers).

The Dark Knight too runs into mind-altering drugs on occasion as he did when the Scarecrow blew Fear Gas into his face.

I found it fascinating how many poisons, toxins, serums and other drugs were out there in the alternate universe black markets and was quite surprised to see such a wide array of vile substances for the taking.

Some of these body and mind-altering drugs were introduced in the above pictured issues. Your task is to determine which drug was introduced and then take the last digit associated with the drug to assemble your starting coordinates for this night cache. For those serums that do not have a number associated with them, count the number of letters in the name of the substance and for any multiple-digit numbers, use the last digit. Roman numerals are numerals! You're are looking for minutes and seconds, where the top row is the North and the bottom row is West.

When you log the final be sure to leave the cache set-up as close to the way you found it as possible to keep the last reflector partially obscured.

UPDATE: 8.29.08 Re-tacked course last night and today with a secondary "summer" route. The summer route is marked with "double brown" tacks. The winter route remains tacked with "single white" tacks. Both are huntable.
