Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES, but parking is available there.

This cache is part of the GEO-CLUE series. The information you need from this cache is written on the inside lid of the container.


This cache is the first in a series of caches related to the Parker Brothers’ Classic Clue game. Clue is a favorite game at family gatherings, in spite of the fact that our niece seems to win all the time.

Each cache in the series contains either (1) a clue identifying a suspect, weapon, or room that was NOT involved in the murder (and which is completely unrelated to the cache name), or (2) a code. You will need to keep track of the clues and the codes from all of the caches in the series (including this one) in order to determine the coordinates for the final Accusation cache. You can find the clue or the code on a card in an envelope in each of the other caches, on the lid of the container, and/or at the top of their logs.

The First-To-Find prize is a coupon for a free Culver's Value Basket.

Where is this cache?

1. The degrees and minutes are the same as those listed; only the thousandths of minutes are different.

2. Determine S = the number of suspects, W = the number of weapons, and R = the number of rooms in the Classic Clue game.

3. To determine the north latitude thousandths of minutes, subtract 101 more than the sum of S, W, and R from the north latitude thousandths of minutes listed on the cache.

4. To determine the west longitude thousandths of minutes, subtract 109 less than the product of S, W, and R from the west longitude thousandths of minutes listed on the cache.

Please take care to not disturb the ski trails in the park.
