In an episode titled "Arcardia," Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully find themselves in one of the scariest locations known to man: the suburbs. They're investigating the disappearance of several otherwise normal individuals. After a bit of research, the agents determine that each victim was guilty of a particularly heinous crime, namely, each broke one of the CC&R's of a master-planned community. Frightening!
Your job, geocacher, is to follow in the footsteps of Mulder and Scully, and venture deep, deep into the heart of suburbia. It's identified as "Irvine" on most maps. In order to solve X is for X-Files, you'll need to figure out the following puzzle. Checksum for the A through F values is 39. Have fun!
Insert the results into the following:
33 39.ABC
117 46.DEF

I was out as an Army of One today to get an army of one. However, I didn't heed the cache page and went the wrong way on Shady Canyon RD and had to go around the other way....back to the freeway I go. Hey, there's that x-files cache I killed myself to solve. Well, what the hey and I drive on over. After getting a little help with some linguistics, I pretty much knew where to look and found it right away. Don't know why I didn't see it before. Thanks for the cache and puzzle.

Looked all around at every place but the place I hate searching. Looked in the alien space craft parked nearby and all around it. Then as a last resort, I searched my least favorite places. Wishing I had one end of a lifeline with me, I left.

Co-FTF with Dopeyduck. Thank you for the confimation at the GeoFest. Meet Dopeyduck there after a long day of caching after GeoFest 2006. This would be DopeyDucks 20th find for the day. Not bad for a few hours of caching.
If was dark and he had to deal with the "universal solvent" that was being sprayed all over the place lucky for us it was not the black oil. We did see a strange Alien-Like Space craft near GZ.
JJG10101 We still Believe!!!!
Thank you

#672 - 2155 - Got come additional hints and co-ord verification at GeoFest today. So we meet up with Pacholik afterwards to co-FTF this cache. I don't remember the X-Files being so evil. Odd yes, but evil? Both our GPSr's were 10 feet off but after a quick phone a friend, sponsered by AT&T, we found the cache. TFTP JJG.
