Enjoyed this cache with DLF 612. So glad we now know the end of the story. Beautiful area. TFTC .

I have been wanting to know the end of this story for years, and today I had the oportunity to find it. I hiked the Marshall Fields trail until I got close enough to bushwack. Great cache. Loved the story and the hike. Thanks.

Cache on! I am pleased to report that the permit for this cache has been renewed. I have also obtained photocopies of a newspaper article about this incident that I am going to put in the cache just as soon as I can get up there. This may be awhile because it's not easy to get anywhere near this cache in the dead of winter. If you have already found this cache and are interested in receiving a copy of the article, please contact me through my profile.

The permit for this cache has expired. This cache is unavailable pending approval of the renewal application submitted today. I hope to have it back up and running again soon.

I've been dying to know the end of this weird story ever since this cache first went up years ago. When I saw its permit was about to expire, I enlisted a good friend for a quick adventure.

I greatly enjoyed the drive over - made me want to do more hiking in the nearby parks. Thanks for bringing us here.

We found the etched stone and both caches easily. We signed the logbook, took a few pictures, and moved on.

Thanks for sharing this story and shrine. It's amazing that you managed to find the exact location!

This has been on my wishlist for years. Today happened to be the day. I didn't realize how close we could have driven but the walk was nice. We parked below the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail and followed a gated access road. Once we got within .19 miles, we made our own path through the woods. My wife found the names carved into the stone before we found the cache. The story is almost creepy but, I guess, understandable. TN and left a large ball. Saw two deer and a turkey heading back out to Route 30. Thanks again QM.

Found this one after we managed to get away from the rest of the family picknicking over by wolfs rocks

I've been wanting to find out the end of this story for a while now... Today we finally sought out the cache and the end of this strange tale. My 23 yr. old stepdaughter was visiting us from Colorado for a few days, so we wanted to take her on her first caching adventure. We all enjoyed this one and found it easily enough. Got a kick out of seeing the old coffee can and the etched words. Neat area and a fun cache - Thanks!

Found it this time!

Duh.

The new cached had some panties in it (kinda gross). We moved those with a rubber snake (which came in handy), took some cool kiddie sunglasses and left a rubber smiley face figurine.

Fun cache. We enjoyed finding out the end of the story.

Found it(second try). The clues threw me off but perseverance paid off. Thanks for a nice cache and a great story. I can rest tonight knowing the conclusion.

Shoot. Found the rock and original cache but just couldn't locate the new cache. Any possibility it isn't there anymore?

I checked up on this cache and added some new rest-of-the-story sheets. It was found to be in good shape. Cache on!

Found with lux on our way home from Burning Micro. Wondered about the outcome of this for a long time, now I know. :)
One of the easier (and probably THE quickest) Quest Master cache I've done. Found the rock with the carvings and Lux spotted the cache quickly thereafter. Looks like the semi-circle of rocks very near the carved rock is probably where the shrine was... at least that's where I envisioned it. We signed and quickly made our exit though cause the bugs were eating us alive. Thanks for the cache and the intrigue!

Strange place. Good quest. The rock is still there and I liked the story to go with it. That always makes for a more interesting cache. Took the Hippie Duck and left a hackie sack. Great cache, thanks!

Fourth and final find on a day of solo caching. Found it around 4:00PM. This one was fun! Probably more fun than a guy in his 40's should have in the woods...
by himself...
with women's panties!!! Hehehe!

Found the actual rock.
Found both caches easily.

The panties were wet...

Great hiding spot!
Took nothing and left a Pickle 99.3 keychain, a racecar, and a blue and white hackey sac with a goofy face on it.
Signed the logbook and rehid the cache as well as it was when I found it.
I really enjoyed reading the rest of the story.
I've been curious about the outcome ever since I've read about this cache.

Thanks, QM, I really enjoyed this one!

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny! You sure did surprise me with this cache. No long hike up steep hills and across knee deep creeks.

Just an easy park 'n' grab. I was able to drive right up to the towers without any problem. So easy to find that even Mrs Possum was able to go back to the car and bring the stickers I use in the logs and find her way back.

This was a really cool cache. That is something that I did expect from you and I was not in the least bit disappointed. Not just a clever and true story but an even more clever hide.

Because this was our 100th GC.com cache (I wanted to do one of yours to commemorate the occassion), I was able to convince Mrs Possum to give up her panties for the "wrong" cache container. She was quite apprehensive about doing it and made me stand guard against other cachers and muggles as well as the native inhabitants of these woods. What a brave gal she is.

Found the wrong cache at first but did finally come across the actual cache with the log book and stash. Took the Cinderella Frisbee and left a Yo-Yo in this right cache. Left a pair of black G-string panties in the "wrong" cache.

Also took a copy of the conclusion to Panties in the Woods because I want to keep the printed cache page and the conclusion as a momento of cache 100.

This was my first cache of the day, after the event. Having read the TRI-GO posting, and talking in person with Questmaster about this cache, I just HAD to know how the story ended. Thanks for a great cache. Took only pictures, left only footprints.....

Before I left this morning for a day of hiking on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail and the GeoSummit, I made one last check of the geocaching.com website because I knew that Questmaster was releasing a cache into the wild that day (even though he was currently in Peru). Being up on the mountain before 6am, I probably could have scored a FTF but to be honest, it’s not about the FTF and I had a lot of hiking to do before the picnic so I saved this one for the very last one of the day.

And, as such, the tracks had been pretty well trampled through the ferns down to the cache site. It was an easy find and while I was signing the log and taking my picture with the enclosed camera, I saw the “bonus” cache. Is this for real or is merely a disturbing replica? Either way, Questmaster, you are sick man.

7/10/05 1518 hrs. We had to get to this one to find out the end of the story, was it foul play, murder, rape??? You'll have to visit to find out. Great location QM as usual. The rock was great. T: silly putty and first aid kit. L: snake and geocaching.com keychain compass. SL. My son, KJ, laughed and laughed at the panties, etc...

This was the first cache of the day for Nellsnake crew members #1 and #4. We definitely did not approach this one the easy way--this is the last time I will trust Microsoft MapPoint for directions. We approached this one from the west in the Outback, which entailed a 4+ mile drive through rugged 4WD trails (a.k.a. Felgar "Road") that pushed this vehicle to the limit. When we finally got to 0.7 miles from the cache on Weaver Road, we encountered a closed gate, so we hoofed it from there. It was actually a quite pleasant walk over to the cache. We noticed a family of falcons perched atop the tallest of the radio towers on the way to the cache. We found the actual cache fairly quickly and signed in at 10:45 a.m. as the third visitors of the day. We saw the infamous etchings on the nearby rock but unfortunately missed the bonus "cache". We hiked back to the car and thankfully discovered that although the gate was latched, it was not locked. So, we let ourselves through and continued over to the nearby event cache, where we had quite an enjoyable day. Thanks for placing another interesting cache, QM!
