Professor Johnathon Huxley is one of the world’s leading physicists working on the String Theory Project, the idea that one-dimensional strings are the foundation of nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational force. If proven, Huxley and his associates would become the foundation of science, as almost all other theories would rely on the principles of String Theory.
Huxley ran into a problem with his calculations after a few years of research, causing his team to abandon the project and side with other physicists and believe that String Theory could not be proven. Huxley continued the project despite the doubt thrown his way. He knew that he could not prove his theory unless he saw the strings himself, and so he began to look for a way to view the first dimension. He seemed hopeless, never leaving his lab. Several of his lab coworkers described him as a stereotypical mad scientist, running on little sleep, never showering, and eating only enough to survive.
Then, yesterday, he disappeared. Just like that. Not a trace. Nothing of his remains in his lab, and nobody has seen any sign of him. A coworker reported him missing, but authorities have no leads at all. YOU have been called in to investigate the laboratory and attempt to find Johnathon Huxley. GOOD LUCK!
This cache is a 5-stage multicache that travels through Red Rocks Park in an out-and-back fashion. You will travel out along the Greenlee Trail and cross over to the Red Rock Canyon Trail via the Roundup Trail. All stages are right off the trail, so no bushwhacking is necessary until you are right next to the cache. The final is down a steep little hill- the last 15 feet are the reason this cache is a T-4. I expect the geocache to take between 2.5-3.5 hours. Hints for the puzzles will be encrypted in ROT13 (the geocaching cipher) and provided as you go. Be sure to wear adequate clothing and shoes, and make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. All tools needed to complete this cache are provided (Aside from your GPS, of course)! Most of all, have fun!!
*Usually I have a good idea for what the D/T rating of my caches should be. I'm really not sure how difficult this cache will be. Any feedback on the rating is appreciated!
