Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT LISTED COORDINATES
 

Private investigators have been in fiction novels, the golden age of radio, and also on television. They might be described as "hard boiled," wise-cracking, hard drinking, gutsy, "know no danger" super men & women.  Always getting cracked on the head or beaten up without being seriously hurt...and always solving the case and running off with their client!  
The generalized stereotype shows them wearing a fedora, a trenchcoat and a cigarette hanging from their lips.

This is an homage to those in print, on radio or in film noir...new or old.
