Geocache Description:

This multi-location puzzle cache is offset from the listed coordinates, though these coordinates may be of use later.

During a recent conversation with an associate on the West Coast, I was startled to learn that he had operational knowledge of several unrevealed elements that comprise a darker side of Rhode Island's history. To further my surprise, this associate was also able to produce recently declassified documents that were then forwarded to me.

It is your task to decrypt the documents, physically visit the specified locations to obtain additional clues, and learn what you can of this disturbing mystery.

The listed coordinates are NOT for the cache location(s) and will serve only to put you in range to intercept any unexpected communications. You are urged to print all of the provided documents and to print a copy of the Periodic Table of Elements if you haven't committed it to memory as you may be asked for papers during this potentially time consuming puzzle.

Special thanks to Spy Ring alias "JudgeCrater" for procuring the declassified documents, and to SquareD22 for his technical research and... questioning of suspect locals.

Note: Cachers are forewarned that they will be required to obtain a photograph of themselves at one of the cache component locations and the picture must be submitted to me via wreck_diver@comcast.net for verification purposes.
