Scheduling the trip up to Marietta never happened. I hate to let it go seeing all the work I put into it. But it is what it is!

Thanks to all who hunted this one.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the Posted Coordinates.



This is kind of a spin off of an older puzzle cache type. Only it has been notched up another level.

You will need a PC running an operating system that has been given the same name a something made of glass that you look through in your house. Or you could use a TOOTIE FRUITY computer that has a PC Operating System Emulator installed. Sorry, I am not allowed to name any commercial products.

You have seen the mystery style cache that uses a maze with numbers in it to find the coordinates. They look like something seen in the image below.
Maze Example
In this puzzle cache, I have created a 3d maze for you to complete. You are the lab rat and will have to find your way through the maze I created for you. When you start the program, you will be in a room with some general instructions. In the program, I have also added some additional tools and toys for you to try and find. What are these tools and toys you ask? Sorry...Can't tell you! A programmer never reveals his secrets. But the added tools and toys are NOT required in order for you to figure out the coordinates to this cache, although they could make your life easier. Heck, I may have even hidden good hints to some of my tougher cache hides in the maze somewhere.

WARNING!!! PLEASE READ THE BELOW DISCLAIMER FIRST!!!

Once you have downloaded it to you PC or PC emulator, decompress the file and save the executable to your hard drive. Then run it and enjoy! The end of the maze will have a Magenta colored wall tile. You must run into that tile for additional instructions. Have fun. OH...A little hint for you. Use the LEFT ARROW key to turn and view the instructions for the maze.
