Geocache Description:

Third in a series of caches that lead to an eventual solution.

dead drop - a drop used for the clandestine exchange of intelligence information; "a dead drop avoids the need for an intelligence officer and a spy to be present at the same time"

drop - a predetermined hiding place for the deposit and distribution of goods (such as drugs, stolen property or information)

A “dead drop” is a time tested technique to transfer information in the fields of espionage and covert operations.

Traditionally, a location is established where information is to be transferred. A “flag” is also established to alert operatives that new information is in place.

Your “flag” will be the introduction of a new Cache under the heading: “Dead Drop # __” posted intermittently on this web site by “Your Special Agent.”Your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to:

1. Locate various dead drop locations around Michigan (using coordinates provided);

2. Collect and compile the requested information;

3. Log onto this web site and post your find (without revealing the location or information);

4. Combine the intelligence you’ve accumulated to arrive at a final rendezvous point where you will be rewarded for your efforts.

(Note: Although all Dead Drop caches are listed as “Mystery” or “Virtual” caches, some of your missions will be multi-caches, some will be traditional, and some will be virtual.)

You are looking for a last name.

Good luck. Although the information you collect may seem trivial at the time, guard it closely. There may come a time when you will require the information you’ve gathered to determine the time and coordinates of a final rendezvous.
~ Your Special Agent
