Additional thanks to Eric Cole and Peter Wayner. If it were not for them, your search will not be possible. Finding this cache will require concentration and discipline. Your search will require a competent search engine or catalog. The hidden clues are disguised using variations of a technique that was used during World War II. This cache will not be a quick grab.

Do not contact any Stefan, Eric, or Peter for clues or hints.

UPDATE 3/29/2005: Added additional clue. Thanks FizzyMagic for thinking up this one!

UPDATE 6/12/2006: Please stay on the trail. If you choose to trailblaze on your own path, you run the risk at meeting up with unpleasant critters like snakes and skunks!
