A Genuine Doggone Whodunnit! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Odyssey Posse: It appears that recent "renovations" to the gc.com site, particularly how past finds are sorted, has screwed up the "logic" behind this puzzle, so I'm going to archive it. For those who have solved it, the container will be left on site for a while, so you can still make the find.

Geocache Description:


DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES. THE CACHE IS NOT THERE, although you might find a couple of clues to the mystery nearby . . . But I digress. The cache IS within a few miles of the posted coordinates. Just solve the puzzle below to reveal the actual coordinates.

Now that we’ve moved down to Southern Indiana, I thought it would be a good idea to place a cache dedicated to a local caching couple who have definitely made their mark on Southern Indiana caching. There is much that is unknown about them. In fact, they’re still virtually a mystery to me. They obviously lead eventful lives, as revealed by their multi-faceted talent at geocaching. Nonetheless, residing in quiet Southern Indiana, I believe they’d consider themselves earthy, traditional folks.

The actual cache coordinates are:

N GCC172 00 . 0 GCJ5TN GCK9JY

W 0 GCGA4E GCPXHA GCPEDQ . GCJVVH

Check your solution

The cache itself is a camouflaged M&M tube with a log only, so bring your own pen. The difficulty on this one is all about the puzzle. The hide is easy. There is a side road to pull off onto near the cache. As always, be careful with the wee cachers and good luck!
