UPDATE: December 14, 2018: The linked web page has been removed. Rather than redoing the puzzle once again I am just posting the final coordinates. The actual cache is here: N 38° 24.763 W 105° 12.505.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. It is somewhere else, but you will have to visit the posted coordinates to gather the information needed to locate the final. This is a field puzzle and should be fairly easy.
In August, 1981 a body was found at Oak Creek Campground 10 miles south of Cañon City. The male victim had been stabbed, and the death was ruled a homicide. The case has never been solved, and the victim has never been identified. He is buried in the paupers' section of Lakeside Cemetery. For more information on this case click on the Related Web Page at the top of this page.

OLD PUZZLE:
To find this cache go to the posted coordinates and find the Unknown Man. Locate the nearest marker to the Unknown Man. Make a note of the two dates on the nearest marker (IJKL - MNOP).
The cache is located at: N 38 2A.BCD W 105 1E.FGH
A=I+3, B=J-2, C=K+2, D=L-6 E=M+1, F=N-4, G=O-8, H=P+5
The final is located in a publicly accessible area. However sometimes the gate is closed and you may have to walk in. If the gate is open you can drive right to the cache. Hours are sunrise to sunset. The area beyond the fence is private property. Don't go there.
Initial cache contents includes my usual swag plus two travel bugs.
