How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:

             This is a cache designed to get inside your head, nearly every stage is a mind game. In this mind game your instincts and expectations will be used against you, you will find the opposite of the opposite of the opposite of what you expected, and sometimes you will find the opposite of that.


!WARNING!

!Anything you do outside can be dangerous, especially seeking this cache!

I placed this cache barefoot and gearless, do not attempt to do the same.

           My father likes to say, “There's more than one way to skin a cat.” This is especially true when it comes to my current geocaching goal, hiding an unfindable cache. There are two methods that I would be satisfied with, one would be to place a difficult to reach cache in an extremely secluded location, and the other is a mind game. This multi-cache is the latter, it is designed to separate the seeker from their sanity.

If you have a problem with heights, mosquitoes, ticks, thorns, brain-teasers, or just difficult caches in general I would highly recommend that you find caches other than this one. It should be noted that hunting is permitted in some of the areas that this cache will lead you too, please wear proper attire during hunting season. If at any point you feel that attempting to seek a stage of this cache will put you in serious danger then stop, just go home and live the rest of your life with the full use of all of your limbs.
 

I had three goals when placing this cache:

  1. Have fun: Mission accomplished

        Placing this cache was an awesome adventure that took me to new heights and new places. I thought it would never end, because I had to stop every five steps to eat handfuls of perfectly ripe berries.

  1. Make the cache as difficult as possible without being a troll

            For example, I would never hide a fake rock in a pile of rocks, I would hide a cache in a real rock in a pile of rocks.

  1. If goal number two fails, make the cache fun for those foolish enough to seek it.

In light of these goals there are a few ground rules that I would like to throw out there:

  • No hints will be given until after the FTF (if there is one) other than verifying that your coords are taking you to the correct location, just send me a picture of yourself at the GZ (410-493-7925)

  • There are two restrictions on posting photos, no photos at stage 2, and no photos that give away the nature of a hide. Other than that, post away!

  • Any stage that requires the untying of a knot to be removed from its location may not be removed

  • Don’t break the puzzle in frustration, it is possible, you’ve gotta trust me on this one.

  • You do not have to personally sign the log to log the cache as found. I don’t care if you have never climbed a tree in your life, if you were along for the fun and the adventure then log away.

  • Other than the above rules everything is allowed.

This cache will take you to some interesting places that you may not have seen, including the spot with my favorite view of the Towson skyline. The final stage is a nice big ammo can with some top notch swag and a collection of seven unactivated deadly ducks for FTF prizes.

Good luck, and don’t die!


Note: There is a error in the coordinates for the final stage, The "1" in the north coordinates should be a 0.
