Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache and the cache container is NOT located at the posted coordinates.  To find the actual coordinates you must solve the puzzle below.  Note that the physical cache is within two miles of the posted coordinates.


It's Christmas time and during the season we watch lots of traditional Christmas movies.  The movie we watch most is "A Christmas Story".  We have so many favorite parts in that movie: changing the tire; shooting his eye out; and of course, using a secret decoder ring to discover the secret message. 

Like Ralphie, you will have to use a secret decoder ring to solve this puzzle.  You can make your own or use an online resource like the one at Geocaching University.  http://bdweb307549.bluedomino.com/caches/codewheel.pdf

Regardless of how you do it, you'll need a key.  That key is on this page...you just have to find it!

Here's your secret message: 757B9 CM HIN 5N NB9 JIMN98 7IIL8CH5N9M. JBSMC75F 7IHN5CH9L CM 5N HILNB X4 4VX1Y Q9MN 22 Y3ZX3.
