Welcome to the first in what will hopefully be a series of
caches for Lowcountry adventure seekers. This one is a tribute to
Tube
Torcher.
This cache may be rated too high. Let me know what you think in
your log or by email.
Before you attempt this cache, you will need to know a few
things about the hunt itself and the environment you will be
hunting in.
THE HUNT:
This is a multi-stage geocache hunt inspired by Tube
Torcher by IndianaLee & CrotalusRex. We have not done
that one yet, but have been watching it and quivering with envy and
anticipation each time a new log entry is made. We've since
been able to complete that legendary and awesome cache. Don't
expect an adventure in the same vein. Though this one is
challenging, it is a different challenge.
Since we haven't been able to go there, and there are none here
that rival it, we decided to put a similar cache here in Berkeley
County. The coordinates lead you to your first clue. If you find
it, you will have an idea of what kind of situations you will be
getting into for the rest of the hunt.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Although this hunt will require travel of less than 1 mile, it
will take at least 4 hours to complete. Swamp Thing went from start
to finish in 3 hours, 15 minutes with no additional help from us.
Let us know how long it did take you. If you are afraid of or
unsure of your capabilities to handle: heights; tight spaces; local
wildlife like snakes, every kind of spider known in SC, ticks,
mosquitoes, leeches, birds, rodents, reptiles, or bees; getting
dirty, wet, cold, hot, scratched up, bruised, blistered, or
exhausted - then you should seriously reconsider going on this
geocache hunt. At least one of these things will happen to you on
this hunt. However, if you think "Fear Factor" and "Survivor" have
nothing you can't handle, this will be the hunt for you. (And we
won't ask you to purposefully ingest anything disgusting.)
ITEMS NEEDED:
- Flashlight
- Rope, at least 60 feet, but 100 feet would be better.
- Notebook & Pen
ITEMS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED:
- Partner
- Gloves
- Climber's Safety Harness (We did without.)
- BUG SPRAY
- Sturdy long pants (jeans)
- Water & snacks
EXTRA ITEMS: Not necessary, but you will wish you
had.
- Change of shoes, socks, and clothes
- Camera
ADDITIONAL ADVICE AND COMMENTS:
- The stamp in the cache is not a trade item. It is for
people who collect inkings, Feel free to use it to stamp
your logbook.
- If you take pictures, please do not post "spoiler pictures." We
want this to be challenging to all hunters!
- Please do not post spoiler details in the logs, but we would
love to be e-mailed with the details of your adventures.
EMAIL

DISCLAIMER:
You are attempting this geocache hunt of your own free will and
volition; you have not been coerced in any way by "Sissy",
"CoyoteRed" or anyone at Geocaching.com, even though this was
designed and implemented by a girl, "Sissy." If you are
placed in any danger, sickness, compromising situation or injured
due to the actions of yourself, other people, wild or domestic
animals or the natural and manmade environment around you—you must
take care of yourself and your problems—we are not at
fault—remember, it was your CHOICE to go on this hunt and it is
your CHOICE to participate in the sport of Geocaching.
We look forward to seeing
your logs and emails! |
