KC Geo Clue - Prof. Plum Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

NWCats: With an almost 8 year run, I am now slowly killing off the caches. The prof is the first to go. Anticipate more on the way. The new Clue series in Tacoma is your best bet for Clue-inspired caches. Head down there and check out what TeamNoltex has done with the game of clue incorporated into Geocaching. Good night, Professor, it was indeed a very good run.

Geocache Description:


Welcome to KC Geo Clue!

In this cache series you will find extra large bison caches that will give you clues to find the final puzzle cache. If you have ever played the game Clue, you shouldn't have any problem with this cache series. Thanks to California Cacher "Winkster" for allowing me to steal heavily from his idea.

King County will serve as the "board" for this game. There will be a series of 6 caches representing each of the Clue suspects spread throughout King County as well as the final puzzle cache. You, are the star Medina Police Detective. You have been summoned to a large mansion on the Medina waterfront  to investigate the death of Mr. Boddy, a local multi-millionaire who suddenly and tragically passed away during a dinner party. Your job as the detective will be to "investigate" each of the "suspects" (caches) when you visit the cache and log the find. Inside each suspect cache you will find information that will help you narrow down who done it, with what weapon and in what room the evil act took place. Each cache will have a laminated card with SWR numbers as well as a separate three digit number. These SWR numbers correspond to the numbers on the Detective Note Pad that is attached to each cache. The "S" numbers are the suspects, numbers S1 - S6 which represent the all of the game characters. On the Detective Note Pad, Ms. Scarlet, for instance is S1. The "W" numbers will be for the weapons, W1 - W6. The knife is W1 on the Detective Note Pad. The "R" numbers are the rooms, R1 - R9. The Hall is R9 on the note pad.  During your "investigation" of the "suspect", you will want to write down the SWR and three digit numbers you find in each cache on your detective note pad there by eliminating the suspects, weapons and rooms. Please note that you will need ALL THE NUMBERS on the laminated card to find the final puzzle cache! Also, PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE LAMINATED CARD THAT HAS THE SWR NUMBER PRINTED ON IT! The final puzzle cache will give you instructions as to what to do with the information you obtained from each suspect (cache). 

Prof. Plum. 

Prof. Plum is nicely dress in a dark purple dinner jacket that looks well worn. Prof. Plum claims he is a tenured professor of business economics at the nearby university. The professor claims that he came to know Mr. Boddy during some philanthropic dealings with the university and has had him as a guest speaker during his classes. Prof. Plum is an avid "kayaker" frequents the GZ with Mr. Boddy who is also a "rower". The professor claims he cant imagine why anybody would want to kill Mr. Boddy and is very eager to assist you in any way he can. If the professor can handle a paddle, you can easily see him handling a lead pipe!

You will find the good professor "hiding out" in a most appropriate place for a man of higher education. I have provided parking coordinates for this one as well as a hint. I have set the terrain rating higher than the rest in this series but thats for the 30 feet. The rest of the route from the parking to GZ is a 1.5. The sat reception in the GZ was challenging given the tree cover. Hence, I have posted a spoiler photo along with the hints I have already posted in the story above.

Happy sleuthing!
