Geocache Description:

This Clue series was inspired by other clue caches. We decided to place a series here in Danville with our own twist.


THE LOCATION:

Anglers Park on the Witch Back Trail. The trail is six miles of single track. And this series is spread over the entire trail. There are multiple entry points and parking locations. The Difficulty and Terrain rating is for the series as a whole. We recommend hiking the entire trail from the Anglers Park Parking Lot.

THE THEME:

This cache is fashioned after the game Clue. There are six characters, containers and places. Use the process of elimination while finding the first five caches to find out who abducted signal and where he was placed. You will obtain the coords to locate him from the five caches listed as "Where’s Signal?" 1-5. The sixth and final cache will allow you to Free Signal

THE STORY LINE:

In Cacheland there has been a rash of "suspicious" muggled caches.

Investigator Signal

Investigator Signal has been called in to investigate. Investigator Signal has been getting closer and closer. He has narrowed his Suspects down to six locals. He has had an interview with all six and now they know he is getting close. Three days ago was the last day Signal was seen. Foul play is suspected. Find all five caches to get the coords needed to find "Free Signal".

Who kidnapped Signal?
What was he placed in?
And where was he placed?

THE SUSPECTS ARE:


Thomas, the Hamster
His motive could be that he was a hoarder before he became manager of the local Groundspeak Internet Server... Signal uncovered this.


Kaleb, the Geo Turtle
He is a freelance photographer...Imagine how prestigious a photo on the cover of Groundspeak's Newsletter would be if he produced the first photo of Signal rescuing the missing caches. Signal seen Kaleb's need to be "First To Find" in his portfolio.


Brandon, the Squirrel
He is the forest lookout observer. He sees everything, tuff and full of energy...he also is a hoarder with many hiding spots. Signal witnessed this himself.


Abigail, the White Fawn
Likes to be in charge. Dreams of one day being a hero and getting national recognition...Could she be suffering hero syndrome? Signal was swamped with witnesses to her “need to be seen”.


Lilly, the Dragonfly
She is super quick. She has many obedient river friends at her command... buzz is she needs lots of storage for something. Signal was getting close to the reason why.


Katie, the River Otter
Playful, skilled in catching amphibians ...word is she wants to place an underwater cache. She asked Signal to help hide one. Signal reluctantly agreed.
