Geocache Description:

The 1st of what was a series of 3 caches (Cipher Caches Alpha, Bravo and Charlie). This is a 2 stage multi cache. This series of caches was devised together with my fellow cacher from Virginia, TJ Beale 3.

The first stage is small (but not a micro) and the actual cache is an ammo box. Orignally, you needed to decypher the below code to find the coordinates for stage one, however, this is no longer required so it will be easier for future cachers. The given coordinates are for the 1st stage. Finding a key there may help to "open(?)" stage one. Stage one provides the coordinates of Cache Alpha. You also no longer need to record the coordinate offsets contained on the lid of the cache to find Cipher Cache Charlie.

Please be respectful of the area around the caches as nothing needs to be destroyed to find them. Please also do not put any spoilers, hints, subtle text, or pictures that are hints in your logs. Good luck and happy hunting!!

For posterities sake I've left the original cypher below
