Geocache Description:


[NOTE: The listed coordinates are not the final cache coordinates, but are in the general area.]

INTRODUCTION: Sherlock Holmes was a fictional detective who first appeared in publication in 1887. Often cited as the most famous of fictional detectives ever created, Holmes was best known for his skillful use of deductive reasoning. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Scottish-born author and physician, was the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Dr. John H. Watson, a biographer and friend of Holmes, was the narrator of most of the publications.

CHALLENGE: Although Doyle never wrote End of the Line., this is the type of code that Sherlock Holmes might have encountered in one of his mystery adventures. It is your challenge to use your deductive reasoning and solve the code. Once the code has been broken, the cache should be nothing more than a magnetic “Park ‘n Grab.”

[NOTE: The owner has given approval for the hide, but requests that you DO NOT enter the structure. The cache is hidden on the outside.]
