Geocache Description:



CACHE LOCATED AT N44°31.xxx W89°34.xxx

It will take a bit of detective work to solve this one. "What we do know is that one of these persons died in a car accident, one of them went to school in Wauwatosa and one of them joined the Army the day after Pearl Harbor was attacked", said Detective Mike. "And those are just the iconic individuals here, the others are just members of the local community who may or may not still be involved."

He goes on to explain that the others are neither iconic nor prominent, but are better described as ordinary joes. "It's always the quiet ones that go postal" adds Detective Mike who has his suspicions about these characters, one of which he says may have hidden a dirty briefcase bomb near the Post Office.

"As I studied this mural, I instantly recognized some familiar stances and yet couldn't place the faces. It took a little process of elimination to figure out who was who".

(To fund these mural projects, interested parties could submit a photo of themselves or a loved one to be included in this and other murals around town. Since the time period selected was the 50’s, Kelly Meredith, the artist, took a few famous 1950’s bodies, and many not so famous ones, then substituted their heads for the submitted faces).

To complete the puzzle and find the dirty bomb, all you have to do is figure out this clue hard-hitting clue:

"There was copious BLOOD and other unmentionables spattered on the WALL. The bullet and what came with it, HAMMERING on impact with enough force to leave a softball size imprint in the plaster. A raged star-burst of gristle and errant strands of HAIR filled the depression. And there, as if suspended by a ROPE in the acrid light, the still smoking RIFLE..." ~ Detective Mike.
