Geocache Description:

You may want to park in the area of N 39° 11.309' W 083° 31.812' The cache is less than a mile away.

Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

A client has come to you with a problem. A dispatch box has been stolen from his study. The only clue he has to the crime is a note that was left on the sundial in his front yard. A photograph of the note appears below.

He informs you that the dispatch box is not the battered metal that one may expect, but is instead a clear plastic container with snap-on lid. The contents included, the last time he saw it, a small spiral-bound book, a pencil and sharpener, a gold-colored yoyo, a purple lizard, two little plastic flashlight lanterns and a Sherlock Holmes dvd.

This hide is only a few feet from a flat, prepared walking trail of short length. An easy hike for a family with small children.
