A Virtual Cache is about discovering a location. The listed coordinates will take you to where one of fourteen Project A.P.E. Caches was placed, Mission #11: Tallow's Sand. Alas, it had a short life. As of November 2019 there are only two remaining. Since their creation, these rare cache icons have been on many a bucket-list.. including mine!
In 2001, fourteen geocaches were placed in conjunction with 20th Century Fox to support the movie Planet of the Apes. Each geocache represented a fictional story in which scientists revealed an Alternative Primate Evolution (A.P.E.). These geocaches were made using specially marked ammo containers and contained an original prop from the movie. The Project A.P.E. Caches were not released together. Each one was released only after a series of published clues narrowing down a location. For example, the first clue for GCC67 Mission #4: Southern Bowl was “It's hidden somewhere in South America.”
From the original Project A.P.E. website..
PROJECT APE (ALTERNATIVE PRIMATE EVOLUTION) What is Project APE? We are an anonymous group of individuals who have dedicated the last year to tracking information on a vital archaeological discovery made outside Lake Powell, Arizona.
Confiscated by a federal research team shortly after its discovery, the archaeological find consisted of a buried container holding cultural objects of unknown origin. This was by no means your ordinary find. In addition to challenging modern evolutionary theory, the excavated items threw into question our own origin, and once again raised the possibility that we are not alone in the universe. Although no one outside of world government officials had ever seen the contents of the cache - until now - rumors had circulated for months that the items recovered were sophisticated utensils and other implements designed for use by anthropoids with simian-like extremities - in other words, highly evolved APES.
Various Project APE sources have since verified that the radiocarbon dating tests performed on the objects had produced inconclusive results, and that subsequent metallurgy analyses indicated trace elements of deuterium, which point to a possibly interstellar origin. If these analyses are valid, the implications are enormous.
Do these findings indicate an evolutionary path modern science never uncovered until now? A period in history in which apes were ahead of us? Or, does it confirm the existence of simian visitors from another planet? According to our sources, the government research team assigned to the project concluded that the objects found in the cache were neither relics from a past human civilization, nor a modern practical joke.
After a difficult year filled with government roadblocks, misinformation, and false leads, Project APE finally had a momentous breakthrough in the spring. One of our informers not only succeeded in leaking documentation from a top-secret research lab, he was also able to liberate many of the actual unexplained objects. As a result, our group now has in its possession what will prove to be the most significant discovery of the twenty-first century. Not only does the find present a clue to our past, it may serve as the key to our future.
In an attempt to prevent government representatives (who are no doubt reading this) from reclaiming these objects, Project APE is taking its find public -- literally. In the spirit of our pro-information philosophy, we will begin planting these objects, one at a time, in different locations around the world. Using current geocaching technology, Project APE will post the coordinates for each object on its website. To become part of this historic event, all you will need is a GPS (global satellite positioning) device and an adventurous spirit.
