Geocache Description:

I started working on this cache 03June2004 with the USS Reagan (CVN 76) as part of the game. As of 05June04 I place this cache in Honor of former President Ronald Reagan Feb1911-Jun2004.



THE CACHE IS *NOT* AT THE COORDINATES ABOVE!


From:CMDR Of Naval Operations
ORDERS for Lt._________, __________ __


The Naval Intelligence Service has intercepted radio traffic from the enemy. This is a coded message. We believe this is the location where the enemy is holding American and Allied POW's.

You are a US Navy Seal:
Mission: Decode message, make you way to the POW camp and free the prisoners undetected.




Due to several emails I have recieved: The following below is a description of the physical area of the cache. When you get there you will understand. There are no clues in this listing. You have to find the key "Cold".

Entry point (parking) is 235 about 500 feet east of the tomb of the unknown soldier. While out in the field look out for the enemy (there may be hunters in the area during hunting season. You will see their cars in the area). Wear your flak jacket (blaze orange). Get in, free the POW's, and get to the Landing Zone! "Pop smoke" and the SH-60 Seahawk will come get you and rendezvous with the newest carrier in the American arsenal, the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) and be debriefed.



Coded Message to be broken onboard USS R. Reagan (CVN 76):

VFWY JHFC MOXX EICO EPFU
TETV AOUF TRRF BJIN JUKJ
FSRG TVVY OMRZ LEGL FAZV
XREM RGWQ MMOG MECT UGVM

If you are able to find the key and rescue the POWs, with NO HELP from me or others that have already solved it, you will be nominated for a MEDAL: The Silver Star!

Top Secret: 04Jul13 2227Zulu
Some of the POWS have been rescued. But not all of them. The enemy has realized the code has been compromised and recoded the message!
You may want to keep an eye on it.
Above all, HAVE FUN!
This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.
