Magic Scroll Cache #69,105 by grnbrg (4/1) N49° 48.543  W97° 07.993 (WGS84) UTM  14U   E 634312  N 5519072 Use waypoint: GCQMFT Size: Small    Hidden on 9/20/2005 In Manitoba, Canada Difficulty:     Terrain:               Located on the University of Manitoba campus. Co-ordinates are accurate. No poking, prodding, digging, or moving of anything is required to retrieve the cache. From the Encylopedia Frobozzica: The Endless Fire destroyed the city of Mareilon in 773 GUE, after raging for 4 weeks. It was later found out that the fire had been started by a civil servant on 18 Estuary, who thought he was casting the ZEMDOR spell ("turn original into triplicate") but who, instead, cast the ZIMBOR spell ("turn one really big city into lots of tiny, little ashes"). He reportedly apolozied to the city with, "Whoops! My bad." The Fire led Lord Dimwit Flathead (the Excessive) to issue a series of 5,521 edicts over the following few weeks, which had the effect of severely limiting access to magic, and, incidentally, lawyers. Henceforth, all magic was entrusted to the various Guilds of Enchanters. One of these edicts required that all magic scrolls be hidden in caches throughout the Empire. The Wizard entrusted to documenting the location of the caches was unfortunately eaten by a grue, and the scrolls were lost. The location of this cache was discovered by a nameless Adventurer, who brought back the co-ordinates, along with tales of wonderous treasure and peril.

Aaaand attempt #2 at the cache was a complete success. However, I had to pay a dollar for parking. Doing this cache cost me a dollar! I DEMAND RETRIBUTION! BAAGALGALGLAGLAGLAA!!!!!

But no, seriously... well worth the parking change. As with the others, when I arrived at the general vicinity, was rather lost at where it could be hiding. Luckly, very few people were walking by, so it was pretty easy. My first two attempts (before someone else started to walk by) ended up in nothing more than a puzzled look, however attempt 3 was successful! A kinda blind-luck with reaching my arm, but all is good. Ahh, nothing like a good reach-around to find what you're looking for.

Umm... scratch that last line .

Anyhoo, an awesome hide. Very nice spot, and quite an appropriate cache container for the University. Thanks for the hide, man :}

Took: Mini-geocaching sticker (for the small-sized cache I'm making)
Left: Logbook entry and chainmail ball

Moved my car over to N-lot for the remainder of the U of M caches. Unfortunately, couldn't find this one this time around. Actually took two swings at it today. The first time, I kinda poked around (first mistake, after now having read the cache page and seeing that no poking is apparently required), but couldn't do much because a pair of people were standing around having a coffee and a smoke outside Engineering. Hence, left it for a bit and came back a bit later.

On said later in the afternoon attempt, I still found nothing. Then again, I was doing everything that the cache page said you don't have to do... that being moving, poking, prodding, and... well, no digging anyway. However, after having read the cache page, I've SO got to come back for this one sometime soon. Now I'm all curious as to where this fella is.
