The geocache is not at the listed coordinates
“Whenever you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” So spoke Mr. Sherlock Holmes as he pondered the mystery behind the deaths of several geocachers around the city.
“What do you make of it, Watson?”
“I must say I have no idea, each geocacher was found in a parking lot, no signs of foul play, but each with a look of horror upon their visage, not unlike that of the Tregennis family in the Devil’s Foot affair”, said I.
“Yes, that was a very singular tragedy, but here we have no evidence of poison. Yet there are signs which point us in a direction toward solving this mystery.”
“I see no signs that makes sense in this case”
“Watson, you see but you do not observe, there are several facts which lend themselves to a theory of the demise of these poor hobbyists.”
“The facts are elusive to me.”
‘There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.”
‘Nothing of what I have seen looms large.”
“Watson, it has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important. If you would trouble yourself to review a few of my cases you have chronicled you may discover the starting point to solve the mystery of the dead geocachers. Once you get there you may have more work to do before you can log your efforts.”
