This is a two (2) stage multi with a unique twist. There is a significant distance between the stages, a vehicle of your choosing is recommended.

---

Note: The above co-ordinates are not for the cache, but for the first stage.

The first stage takes you to the last sighting of the TARDIS, it has since materialized in another time and space, perhaps in the past, perhaps at GC4GA47. You can see previous sightings of the TARDIS in the gallery. You used to activate the TARDIS with the pass phrase "c0g t00 hack", but you'll need to employ alternate means to employ the pass phrase now. Thats it.

At the final you may want to approach from the road to the south east, especially if it is at all wet. Adjust the final coordinates by N -0.086 W -0.154 minutes to find a suitable parking spot.

I hope you enjoy the cache, but please enjoy it in moderation.

I must admit... the puzzling start of this cache had me quite stumped for a while. We actually poked around the start of this cache (we being myself and my friend Night-Red) earlier today, but were coming up empty. Then again... I had COMPLETELY forgotten the nature of the start of this cache, what with a pass phrase and such.

Hence... initially, due to the various signal-killing structures all over the place, the coordinates took us to the front of the church. We poked around the bushes, the fence, looked inside of nooks and crannies... but given there were people parked all over the place, this was quickly abandoned. At which point... I did something smart. I pulled out my palm-pilot and read the cache description . Funny how that can be helpful sometimes . After looking around for anything relating to someone named "Tom", I contemplated knocking on the church door and asking if the term "Tom Geo Hide" meant anything to them. However, my... not so much wanting to say weird things to strangers downtown forced me to hold back for the moment . However, as there was still people parked nearby, we temporarily abandoned the search.

However... this was not the end . Deciding to take another swing at it upon our return to the coordinates (which still kept putting me in front of the church for some reason), I decided to check out the hint for the cache... which I must admit, helped immensely (despite technically being incorrect... but that's besides the point ). After figuring out WHERE the first stage is... it took us about a minute to figure out how to access it. We started looking all over the place... once again in nooks and crannies (and finding a sheet of plexyglass in one of them... weird), at which point... a light suddenly came on in my mind, and I instantly knew what to do. Seconds later, I had the coords to the second stage .

Luckly... we happened to be travelling in that general direction as well. Not long after, we found ourselves near the second set of coordinates. A quick parking, and off we walked! A little trudging here and hopping there, and a cache we had found! I REALLY like the general vicinity of the final though . We however took what appears to have been a more difficult route to get to the cache though. As it always is, we took the hard way in, and the obvious, easy way out .

Thanks for the excellent puzzle/multi cache. It was immense fun .
