Geocache Description:


This is the first cache of the CSI series. We hope that the cache series would go on for at least approximately 20 "episodes", like one season of the CSI tv-series.
So if you like our idea please help us and create a new cache for the series.

The name of the cache must be written CSI - #n: "xxx", when n is number of the episode and xxx is the name.

We hope also that the plots and the containers are made with innovative spirit.

Copy these guidelines to your cache!


Case #1: "The Shootout"

There has been a shootout at the local tuckshop. Two men were killed and two others were wounded badly. Also one more man was found laying on a bench nearby, also injured. Two guns were found at the crime scene but none of them was the one that was used to kill the two men (they were their guns).
The man who was found on the bench is our suspect. Crime-lab found some gunpowder from his hands and clothes. Now you have to prove that he is the one who killed the two other men by finding the gun.
You are new on your job so you will have to prove that you are the right man/woman for the job.

Start from the given coordinates, at the tuckshop (it's always closed). The suspect was found on a bench that is situated approximately 180 meters west from the tuckshop (walk the road). Walk there. The area of the bench and the trash can were searched but there were no signs of the gun.

However in the nearby woods, some blood of the suspect was found on some rocks. We assume that the suspect hid the gun in that area. So from the bench walk straight to north approx. 30 meters. That is propably the place where man hid the gun.

The suspect propably hid the gun under some very big rocks or in a crack of rockface

The given coordinates will lead you to the crime site and the research will start from there!

The container is not a traditional micro. The size of the container is more like small, but it doesn't have much space. It's black, so it might be difficult to see.

Hint for logging the cache: Lock n' load
