Dr Protractor's Second Prototype #2 Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

samshine20: Sad day when we have to archive this cache, but the owner of the neighboring property hassled two cachers who were looking for this cache, warning them of violent homeless people who inhabit these woods, and threatening them with trespassing. This was not my intent to put geocachers in harm with this cache, so I am voluntarily archiving this one.

It had a good run, but nothing is worth confrontation. I am sorry to those two cachers who had the trouble, I had no idea the neighbors were so aggravated, nor that there were hostile homeless people back here.

Geocache Description:

P.S. I like words that make you spit when you say them. Enjoy!




Back Story:

While Dr. Pyrrhous Purblind Protogenist Prolix Protractor was
engaged in building his first prototype, at the pyrrhonism of his
colleagues, a series of unfortunate accidents occurred. As his back
was turned and he was engaged in a bit of pyrosis, and pagophagia,
(to curb his iron deficiency and heart burn) a palaeolimnologist
stealthily snuck up on Dr. Pyrrhous Purblind Protogenist Prolix
Protractor's prototype with evil plans to purloin it. Having read
about pyrosophy on Google, and studied at the palaestra, the
palaeolimnologist was highly skilled in the art of destruction.
Unfortunately, he was also a bit of a palamate, causing him to trip
before he could use his wrestling skills on the paciferous device
and instead, he fell pygal first into a pile of pyrophorus which in
turn caused his clothes and hair to spontaneously combust on
impact.

Dr Pyrrhous Purblind Protogenist Prolix Protractor having a severe
case of pyrophobia, jumped backwards to escape the blazes, and fell
on a pyrometer which in addition to breaking his fall, granted him
pyromancy with pyrokinesis and pygia as a side benefit.

Meanwhile, Dr. Pyrrhous Purblind Protogenist Prolix Protractor
being palatine over his pythogenic assistant, Igor the arachnid,
insisted Igor practice pyrolatry. To appease the good doctor, Igor,
being sufficiently legged, quickly grabbed his 8 putois and began
painting his cooking pottery before it began to harden. Before Igor
could finish painting the pottery, a ptarmic hosted bird landed on
the helplessly bloated palaeolimnologist (who secretly battled
pteronophobia), thinking he was a large loaf of bread. The
palaeolimnologist then sneezed so hard he exploded, blowing apart
Dr. Pyrrhous Purblind Protogenist Prolix Protractor's lab.

As a result of the explosion:

- Igor experienced psychorrhagy

- The head of the paciferous device called "John" lifted off, and
flew quite a ways away

- Igor’s half-painted pottery shattered

- The nearby hobos who occasionally roasted pickled pigs feet
developed pseudochromaesthesia and decided to follow their new
senses elsewhere

- And worst of all, Dr. Pyrrhous Purblind Protogenist Prolix
Protractor's faithful lawnmower drove itself off in angst, so the
area is becoming quite grown over again.

***p.s. pardon the pseudography!

Happy Hunting!

The trails are psammous, filled with lots of psammophiles, such as
cactus, but you do not need to venture off the beaten paths, this
cache (or series thereof) is meant to be found only during the
daylight hours. If you go at night, you may miss some of the more
interesting urban artifacts.

You can also see Dr. Pyrrhous Purblind Protogenist Prolix
Protractor's lab (or what's left of it) from the Hobo Cookout. If
you enter, please don’t remove anything or study proxemics,
the doctor can be a bit of a porbeagle when people touch his
stuff.

P.P.S. all stages are within a very very small radius of one
another, if you are stuck at one, if you walk a little further im
sure you can easily spot the next one.
