GC2PJTM GEO-CLUE: A Lead Pipe Cinch? (Unknown Cache) in Minnesota, United States created by salsman

This cache has been archived.

salsman: A DNF on this cache was suspicious because it was such an easy container to find.

It saddens me to have to archive this one. It was one of my favorite containers. GZ looks just like it did the day I placed it, but obviously, someone didn't want this here because every shred of it is gone - both the container, and the ropes holding in place. Funny how they would removed this, but leave all the big pieces of trash dumped in the area.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

* NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES *

This cache is part of the GEO-CLUE series. See GEO-CLUE (GC217T7) for more details.

The cache container holds a clue you will need to keep track of to find the final cache in the series. The clue is printed on the outside of the cache container. The clue describes either:

A suspect, weapon, or room NOT involved in the murder
A code

You will need to keep track of the clues and codes from all the caches in the series to determine the coordinates for the final Accusation cache.

Special Cache Considerations

Please keep the following in mind when retrieving this cache. Failure to follow these instructions could ruin the experience for yourself and others.

The container you find at the final coordinates is simply a container. DO NOT SIGN THE CONTAINER! The cache is inside the container. Your objective is to remove the cache from inside the container. The cache can be retrieved without putting any foreign objects inside the container (e.g. water, sand, or small animals). Do not twist, smash, hit, cut, swing, throw or otherwise destroy the container in any way. Absolutely zero force is necessary to retrieve the cache hidden within.

Upon retrieving the cache please replace the cache and container exactly as found. Thank you for your understanding. Be safe and have fun!

Solve the pipe maze below to obtain the final coordinates to the cache. Create a continuous, unbroken path by lining up the tiles green against green and blue against blue. The correct orientation of the puzzle is for you to determine. Once solved read the numbers left to right then top to bottom, and place them into the coordinate string as follows:

N 44° _ _ . _ _ _ W 092° _ _ . _ _ _

Disclaimer: I know of only one solution to the puzzle. The possibility exists there may be more than one valid solution. However, only one solution and orientation will give you the coordinates you seek.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
