Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!







Some of you are aware that the QD in QDman stands for questioned documents. I thought I'd put out a series of caches based on the type of work I do on a day to day basis as a forensic document examiner.

Sometimes, in the execution of a search warrant, shredded paper is collected by the CSI folks. If the investigators want to know what the papers said before they were shredded, they come to me.

Now it's your turn. There's no trick, no secret, just put the pieces together to get the coordinates of the cache. If you want to go old school, print out the image, cut out the pieces, spread them on your kitchen table, and work it like a jigsaw puzzle. I prefer to bring the image into Photoshop and work from there.

The cache is in a small ammo box. Be prepared to scramble over some boulders to get to it.

Have fun, and remember, I get paid to do this kind of stuff. ;-)
