Unknown Man


Congratulations to 9-rushman&farmgirl79
for being the First To Find

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. It is somewhere else, but you will have to visit the posted coordinates to gather the information needed to locate the final. This is a field puzzle and should be fairly easy.

In August, 1981 a body was found at Oak Creek Campground 10 miles south of Caņon City. The male victim had been stabbed, and the death was ruled a homicide. The case has never been solved, and the victim has never been identified. He is buried in the paupers' section of Lakeside Cemetery. For more information on this case click on the Related Web Page at the top of this page.

The Cache:

The Unknown man's grave marker has disappeared, so here is an alternate puzzle that can be solved at home:


You can find the information you need here.

The cache is here: N 38 24.AB3 W 105 12.CD5

A. Make of car he was believed to have been driving:
  1962 Chevy Impala (3)
  1975 Dodge Charger (5)
  1982 Chevy Caprice (7)

B. Police believe the man was killed in:
  Denver (2)
  Pueblo (6)
  Caņon City (4)
  Fort Collins (5)

C. Number of persons of interest in the investigation:
  1 (3)
  2 (5)
  3 (7)

D. The victim is believed to have been in his:
  40s (9)
  50s (0)
  60s (1)

************************************************

OLD PUZZLE:

To find this cache go to the posted coordinates and find the Unknown Man. Locate the nearest marker to the Unknown Man. Make a note of the two dates on the nearest marker (IJKL - MNOP).

The cache is located at: N 38 2A.BCD W 105 1E.FGH

A=I+3, B=J-2, C=K+2, D=L-6     E=M+1, F=N-4, G=O-8, H=P+5

The final is located in a publicly accessible area. However sometimes the gate is closed and you may have to walk in. If the gate is open you can drive right to the cache. Hours are sunrise to sunset. The area beyond the fence is private property. Don't go there.

Initial cache contents includes my usual swag plus two travel bugs.

Out caching with Hives on a nice day in and around Canon City. TN - TFTC

On an all day cache outing with Ark Goose in the Canon City area to pursue puzzles, challenges, and other interesting caches along the way. It was a perfect day for caching. We were mostly successful in our endeavors with only a few DNFs along the way. There were some that we started to pursue and determined they would require more time and effort than we could invest today so saved them for another time. Thanks to the COs for providing and maintaining a lot of fun caches in this area. Also discovered a lot of fun TBs along the way. As a payback for the puzzle gift I give it a FP. Nice hide. SL. TFTC

This was a fun cache. Never knew this little cemetery existed up here. It definitely could use some TLC . So Sad to see it in this condition. Located the cache with no troubles and is in great condition.

Down from Buena Vista for a house warming, this was nearby so we made the trip over. I gave this one a fav point just for the story alone. Thanks for the info and a puzzle I could solve.
