Decrypt+Math=Pennies! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

CacheDrone: Agreed. If the CO would like this unarchived then they can email me with their GC Code and we'll look into that option.

Looks like this listing has suffered long enough.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is a cache where you must decrypt a code and then do a little math to convert coordinate formats.

NOTE:The above listed coordinates are not the coordinates for the cache....they are the coordinates for the town of Rockland in which the cache resides.

To find the cache you must decrypt the following cipher:

PB JBN VFMY XUWNAYH BNO OVY CBHY ZNO GBL JBN SYPO HB OVY SFOV. OVY UBAOV CBBAHUGFOYP FAY XBNAOJ-XUMY OVFG OVUAOJ-OVAYY OVFG OLYGOJ-OVAYY. OVY LYPO CBBAHUGFOYP FAY PYMYGOJ-XUMY OVFG PUKOYYG OVFG XUXOJ-BGY. OVY SFOV RFAO BX OVUP UP OVFO U VFMY FG TEHYA WRP PB U BGEJ CFG VFMY OLB GNSZYAP FXOYA OVY RBUGO FGH FEE BX JBN VFMY OVAYY. PB JBN SYPO CBGMYAO SJ GNSZYAP OB JBNAP. VFRRJ VYGOVGW.

The code will provide the coords in the Deg.min.sec (XXºXX.XX) format.....You will have to convert them to the Deg.min.min (XXºXX.XXX) format.

If you are a really big cheater and don't feel like decrypting this just click on cheat okay.

This is a micro cache that is painted grey and when it was established it contained a bunch of pennies. When you find this cache all you have to do is sign and take 1 penny.
