Geocache Description:

A waterproof match container near a movie theatre.

This cache is not dedicated to a cacher, or even to a real person. This cache is dedicated to the Alter Ego of a very strange local cacher who shall remain nameless. If you call up this cacher, the phone will sometimes be answered by an (Asian) Indian fellow who introduces himself as Ramachandran Krishnaswami Balasubramanian or sometimes as Ramachandran the Butler. Ramachandran is very protective of his employer's time, and will jerk you around for quite a while before he will let you talk to him.

The only problem is this: Ramachandran does not exist! It is the geocacher himself pretending to be the butler! The Indian accent is really good though and has fooled a lot of people. I understand that the whole thing began as a prank to annoy telephone soliciters. But it has progressed to the point where the whole thing has become a little frightening. In fact I understand that the geocacher is seeing a psychiatrist because he now starting to believe that Ramachandran is real. He has invented a whole life-style for Ramachandran, which includes going to the movies several times a week.

That brings us to this cache. This cache is dedicated to Ramachandran and is located near his favorite movie theatre. Enjoy!
