This event is a timed
competition similar to a poker run or the TV show "The Amazing
Race". Create a team of cachers and/or muggles and dash around
Saddleback Valley & South Orange County solving puzzles and
finding caches.
Rally Defined: This is a contest resembling a wild goose
chase in which upstanding citizens behave in a most ridiculous
manner while (safely) driving around Saddleback Valley & south
Orange County. Along the way, teams will be solving puzzles,
trivia, and riddles that will ultimately lead them to a party in
their honor.
Interested? Post a “Will Attend” log on the event page,
letting us know you plan to form a team.
Registration You MUST register to participate. Go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svpuzzlerally and
fill out the registration form (in the files section.) Forms can be
submitted by e-mail or fax. Once your payment has been received, a
confirmation message will be e-mailed to you. Registration packets
will be distributed to all teams at when registration closes. This
packet will have the instructions, itinerary, and most importantly
the first puzzle of the race….to the starting line.

announcements

Creating a Team & Carpooling Teams can consist of a
single geocacher, a bunch of geocachers, or a mix of geocachers and
muggles. We recommend teams of 2 to 4 people, and NO MORE than 6
adults per team/vehicle. Larger teams are not necessarily better
than smaller ones. Children are welcome and all trails are family
friendly. Teams must fit in one vehicle and that vehicle must be
fully insured. Additional vehicles can be left at the starting
location.
Food We recommend bringing a cooler with water, snacks, and
drinks. Lunch will be on your own. You can pack a lunch, do a
drive-thru, or stop at a restaurant – it all depends on your
strategy. The location for dinner will be similar to other
geocaching events. If you have any dietary or other concerns about
the menu or location, feel free to contact us directly.
The Route Duh… we’re not going to tell you the route, but a
general map of the area can be found in the files section of
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svpuzzlerally .
There will be a few different routes each ranging between 30-50
miles. Of course your mileage will vary depending on your
navigation skills.
Hints & Lifelines Each puzzle will have a hint or
spoiler, but using it will cost you points. If you’re completely
stumped or lost, there will be a bail-out phone number.
Can't attend the event or don't like
puzzles, but want to help out? We're looking for volunteers to help
prior to the event or on the day of the event. Please contact
us!
If you want more information about the Rally, but do not wish to

directly.
