I never did finish my Chaos story. Here are the cast of characters:
Gipsie - narrator of our tale, scribe, organizer and chief pain in the ass.Can solve a puzzle or two but prefers to leave it to the others. Has two 4WDvehicles and is not afraid to use them. Has no fear of mud.
Melcrim - the other half of the geo-duo. Searching skills and photographicmemory of every cache she has ever been on and every road she has evertaken. Just learned how to drive 4WD, can borrow Bessie. Loves sugar sand.
DaddyCoz - the most determined member of our group. He won't quit until hegets what he is looking for. Technical whiz. He has a boat and 4WD.
Grunriese - also determined. He is a scout leader and can read a compass.Good for a bushwhack or two. He also has a boat and a 4WD and is good withtechnology.
NJ4x4fever - new to caching and a 4WD friend of Gipsie's. Part of the "PineyPower" group that solved all of stage one in under four hours.
Greywulf2112 - brother to NJ4x4fever and a puzzle solver extraordinaire.Part of the "Piney Power" team.
TeamBuzzard - last member of the "Piney Power" puzzle solving team. Has 4WDand loves climbing and splashing in it. Sings songs to make the trails gofaster when you wound up further away than what you wanted.
Roadkill14 - The latest entry from the "Piney Power" team. Always good for a call when you are in the middle of nowhere and need some calculations or gas....
What a group and what a challenge.....
Anyone can go to geocaching.com and read the logs and please do. Go to "Hide and Seek A Cache" on the left and then type in under "keywords", "Choreographed Chaos".
This was an awesome accomplishment! A lot of teamwork and time and it felt so good!
So when we were finished with this long adventure and finally signed the log, we asked, "So when are we going to start Cerebral Codex?", half-jokingly. We met the cache owners for dinner at the Pic and they told us to take a break between the two. The result is that we are almost done with that one now. The puzzles were harder and the field challenges more intense. To make a long story short, there is a book you have to read by the same name. It is available in PDF off the cache page, but I bought it a long time ago from one of the cache owners. There are mega-puzzles (I spent all of Christmas Eve working on Trig and Calculus and more) and super-intense field challenges. Swamps and briars and the like. We are staring a multi tomorrow that will take us all the way north. None of us know what to expect. After we do some north Jeresy mountain climbing, it may send us all the way south for the next stage. I am hoping that we can complete it tomorrow, so I can spend some time wheelin' tomorrow. But I have a feelin'......
I will be so glad when this is over, but at the same time, we have come so far and I just have to see it to the end. We have worked so hard for this. And what do we get? A friggin' 'smilie'? And a sense of satisfaction. But, Eric, when you read this...know well, that I WILL start drinkin' heavily! (When in doubt, huh?) I truly do think that we should have taken a break. This one was more intense, but not nearly as much fun as the first. Maybe because we were all burnt out? I think I may have enjoyed it more if we waited. There is a team behind us doing Chaos now. We are going to finish Codex about the same time that they finish Chaos. I am going to give them the same advice that the cache owners gave us. Wait a little bit before you start the next one. They probably won't listen, but I will have a clear conscience!
