A 3 part cache that is dedicated to my favorite spaghetti western. The first two stages are very close together, the last is but a short drive away.

The Good: At the coordinates above you will find a monument to our modern day heroes. They are unassuming and stay out of the limelight. But when you REALLY need them they come running and will risk it all to help you and your family. Take a moment to thank them if you can. At the memorial you will find a plaque with the years of service for the WFD. Subtract 1183 from the first year to get the North coordinates (xxx) to the next waypoint. Subtract 1677 from the second year to get the West coordinates (zzz).

N 39.49.xxx W 105.02.zzz

The Bad: Very close by you will find a historical plaque with quite a different theme. I am not sure why this piece of trivia is recorded, but there it is. Subtract 1274 from the year Lloyd is reported to have left his life of crime and use this number as the North coordinates (aaa). Subtract 1496 from the year Lloyd was shot by his wife. Use this for the West coordinates (bbb).

N 39.50.aaa W 105.02.bbb

The Cache: At the cache site you will not have to disturb a grave, but then you will also not find a buried treasure of gold coins. You will instead be searching for a 35mm film canister with the requisite log book. The cache is only a few feet from available parking. Be sure to bring a pen or pencil with you. Log your visit and take a moment to enjoy the views of the front range.

Update: 11-9-10 Cache is now a lightly camoed pill bottle.

I tried looking for this cache when I was a newbie geocacher - I don't think I understood that there wasn't an actual physical container at waypoint one, ha. I left in frustration after several minutes of searching without finding anything. Now that I have over 1,400 finds under my belt this was a straight forward multi. I had no issues at any of the locations. What a difference some geocaching experience makes! Thanks for placing this multi, it brings me one step closer to completing my 100-multi challenge. Only 35 more to go. Cheers, keep calm and cache on!

I drove to this area about two months ago specifically to find this geocache. Unfortunately, on the way to the starting point I was distracted and unable to make it. Tonight on a very chilly winter evening I returned. The instructions in the puzzle were clear and easy to follow. Within 15 minutes I was able to complete the entire multi. I hope others enjoy as much as I did. Tftc!

Checked out the plaque and found it was still there

Found the first WP without issue.
Did the calculation.
But WP 2 does not contain a plaque.
Seems like some changes were made in the park.
So, no way to find the final.
Bummer, a DNF on this oldie.

Up in this neck of the woods with fearthefish to try out a nearby clue room with some new friends and fellow geocachers. The clue room was great and we did successfully get out. It was great to get back outside again because it was an amazing day for late November. We also found this and a few other great caches while we were in the neighborhood. TFTC

Out and about caching with heh324 on a gorgeous day. We went to a clue room nearby for the first time with LostInDenver and WindAtMyBack, and decided to grab a few caches on our own before we met up with them at a cache in Boulder.

The cache title and age caught my attention, so we drove over here to check out the sights. We enjoyed looking around for what we needed and learning some history. We had no trouble finding this one and signed the log accordingly. After putting things back in place we were off to the next one. Thanks for the fun hide. Favorite point added for the history lesson.

GanderGoose and I had a wonderful caching adventure today. Your multi cache was one of the highlights of today. We are always learning some fun facts while finding your caches. Thanks for the placement mondou2.

#1 Beefers and I had a fun time with this multicache before attending Golden State of Mind event. Lloyd is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Brighton and is definitely one of the more famous residents there. Thanks for the placement, mondou2!

Our 1st multi cache. TFTC

Good time to find this multi for the Mary Hyde adventure. Like other cachers, walked past stage 2 a few times before spotting it. I guess notorious people are part of a city's history, too. Final is in good shape. TFTH SL

Interesting multi! Statue was a nice tribute, the bad guy had a story I had not heard before, and the final location had surprising panoramic views. Signed log. Thanks for the history and the cache!
