Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates

Please include in your log the time you found the cache.

 

The prisoner has escaped and the
clock was reading two minutes to midnight.
Back in the village, the panic sets in
as it was night of total eclipse.
The residents make the sign of the cross
when they see the apparition that
seems to be straight out of the twilight zone.

The prophecy became true,
but you didn't listen to fate's warning.
You were not able to hold your aces high
in this is bizarre and strange world.
The air fills with holy smoke
as the prodigal son returns
from the eternal quest for fire.

Note about the Triangle Puzzle Series: To be considered for the solver points, you must verify your answer with certitude (anonymous certifications will get you no points). All point scoring is arbitrary and subject to change. One challenge puzzle will be posted per month around the 5th and hint added on the 20th of the month. Please do not share the hints with others. Finders who did not certify their solution will get no points as well. Please note in your find log your position in the cache log and the TIME of your log. Logs without time will have scoring based on log submission time instead. Best of all, have fun.
Note 2: Container was a gift from pyrofrogg (many thanks). Also, special thanks to StumpWater for the initial comments about the puzzle.

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Scoring is hidden until end of the year
