Geocache Description:

This indoor site is open: Check times online.

Update [Nov. 2021]: Changed Enigma Machine to newer version compatible with current OS platforms. Decrypted message is same as before.

Complete the following task before you arrive at the site:
1. Find: Enigma Machine Emulator (101)
2. Read the “?” [Help] window.
3. Set Reflector Rotors, both ring and initial settings to: SCL
4. Decrypt the ciphertext: JLCHD EDQMH HQFWJ TDNCP NVQDC BRHRE LTXSB PPQTO LKFIF ZKUEY YVDN

The deciphered code contains all the information needed to find the cache: i.e., what you're looking for, and where it's located. Don't over-think this one. It's possible to have the solution before you arrive at the site. It is important that you have a basic knowledge of how this site is organized. Hints:
- The cache container is the size of a hardbound book.
- The cache container is in plain sight.
- The cache is not listed in the catalog.
NOTE: Please do not seek help from the staff worker-bees - this is an unofficially-placed cache and the staff may be unaware of it's existence.
