Geocache Description:

05 December 2020, 07:00 - 18:00

For many years, the vast jungles of northern Okinawa have been haunted by dark creatures from beyond the limits of our understanding.  My expedition along with many others have managed to push their infernal incursions out of the south and back into a final bastion within the lonely mountains of the north.  However, their powers continue to grow, and we must all put an end to this danger once and for all. 

It is only a matter of time before they begin pushing out South gain.  I implore you to join our expedition and plunge into the Mountains of Madness and end this threat once and for all!

This will be a one-day journey into the norther jungles to complete the ultimate chapter in Cabiel’s Eldritch series of adventures on this island.  These caches are not easy and will require hours of hiuking through the mountainous jungle terrain, often looking for insidiously hidden containers.  Thre is some contagion spreading through these mountains, you can almost taste on the mists.  We will be using every precaution to ensure that if it does strike our party its effects are limited in nature.  If everything goes according to plan and you survive the day, the following caches will be found:

Into the Mountains of Madness

Professor Ashley

The Yellow King

Brothers of the Yellow Sign

Professor Herbert West

Aaron Boone

Gosamaru

Moon Beast

Formless Spawn

The Hound of the Yanbaru

Leng Spider

Flying Polyp

The Colour out of Space

Gnoph-Keh

Dimensional Shambler

 

*** REAL WORLD CONSIDERATION ***

We will be tacking COVID-19 precautions throughout the event.  While working together we will maintain the recommended separation between families, groups, individuals. All participants will be required to have a mask on when in vicinity of other cachers.  There will be a contact tracing log kept by me with all participants names and contact information.  

All cachers are welcome to attend.  Be aware there will be a lot of hiking involved in this event. Food and Water will not be provided and will have to be carried in by each cacher/group. 

Given the spotty nature of cellphone coverage within the jungle, I will bring a SAT Phone to facilitate emergency communications if needed.  

Each cacher/group will be required to bring a small first aid kit to support themselves. I will be bringing a larger kit, including a snakebite kit.  However, the best protection against snakebites is ankle height boots, long pants, and gators. 

As these caches are deep in the jungle they may be degraded.  Bring replacement supplies if possible (new logs, containers, etc.) in order to assist BigDave the current owner of these caches. 

There are camping options available within the area if you are interested.
