The cache that Brian and Scott mentioned - for those who arent aware - is: "West of the Pecos" (GC37F8). The cache started out as a hoax being played on "Wyle E." Larry had made six trips to the site looking for a nonexistent cache. If you read the logs from Feb 6th through the 12th, 2002, you will see how this played out. The cache was finally made legit, and "The Real Thing" was added to the cache name.

Yeah, the Wyle E one was great. I remember hearing the story about it at
one of Regan's event caches, and was just rolling in the aisles.

I recall another hoax that was perpetrated some time ago in which a non-existent cache was posted near the home of the venerable Wyle E. Those who were 'in' on the joke posted 'finds' for the cache even though there was no cache to be found. Some people logged DNF's, just to add to the illusion of legitamacy. The same thing could apply here.

Considering that the cache hunt was on April Fool's Day, I was thinking that it may be just a big joke on us. but if so, why would they bother logging one of mine as a DNF.
