Geocache Description:


"S.O.S. MAYDAY! GEOCACHER IN DISTRESS! STOP.

It is me, ePeterso2, certified Puzzle-headed Weenie and devoted fan of They Might Be Giants! STOP.

While tinkering with a new advanced puzzle theory, I inadvertantly seemed to have slipped into another dimension, or perhaps beemed myself upon some alien space vessel. STOP.

This is why I have been missing from the geocaching world lately. I do not have all the supplies necessary to reconstruct another device to get me home. STOP.

I am still unsure if I am in danger, if I am a captive or a guest. But my hosts (or captors) have helped me gather most of the necessary components for my device. STOP

I have the battery, cable, saw blade, a fork, rope, umbrella, aluminum foil, nails and a coat hanger. Most important, I have the transmitter. STOP

These items were not easy to come by, I assure you. STOP

However, the instruments will not function until they receive the signal from the motherboard. STOP

I am sending the necessary information to activate the network terminal.
