Geocache Description:



The Geocache at the end of the Universe: The sequel to The Geocacher's Guide to the Galaxy.

The Geocache at the end of the Universe is one of the most extraordinary ventures in the entire history of Geocaching. It has been built on the fragmented remains of . . . it will be built on the fragmented . . . that is to say it will have been built by this time, and indeed has been-

Okay.

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

Errrr.... Moving on.

We need to confirm our reservation for the Geocache at the end of the Universe. To accomplish this, you must do three things:

1. Locate the Reservation Confirmation Computer (RCC).
2. Open the RCC.
3. Confirm the reservation.

The first two are very easy and will take no time at all. The third, depending on how well you get on with the Reservation Confirmation Concierge, might take a while.

Once you have arrived at the RCC location, simply open the box and follow the instructions within.

Note: You WILL need access to the internet to solve this cache (a smart phone is the best tool for this). If coming at night, some source of light might be helpful. This is not as quick a grab as its prequel, The Geocacher's Guide to the Galaxy. It is on par with some of the other local favorite puzzle caches, such as Dr. Who (GC37QVN), or the DaVinci Cache (GC1CHYK), but all the "waypoints" are in the same location. The difficulty is based on the time and tools needed to solve the inner puzzle, not in finding it. I'd give yourself about 30-60 minutes to solve this one.

Note Note: This cache is located in a neighborhood, in close proximity to many homes. All of the nearby residents are aware of this cache and have approved its location, so while you may attract a raised eyebrow or a knowing chuckle, they will not interfere or assist (unless you want).

Whatever you do, DON'T PANIC!
