This is a two part puzzle cache. The first is the micro that will lead to to the final. The trick is reading the text that will lead you to the first stage. Then applying what you have learned in the first stage to over come the second leg of the cache. It's a nice walk in the woods, nothing too hairy.
THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES, THEY ARE JUST TO GET YOU TO THE GENERAL AREA! This cache is located in the new conservation area off of Glenn Rock road. It is near the South Kingstown and Richmond town line.
I have been thinking that this location needs to be introduced to some new people from around the state. What better way to spread the news than with a new puzzle cache?
First of all you will need to discover the origin of the text that I have used in letter #1. Once you have done this, you will discover the location of the first stage. At the first stage you will find a micro. Inside is a second letter written in this same text, you will need interpolate this text into English alphabetic characters. Note that when you do, this time it will appear to be random letters with no meaning.
Then you will need to use the keyword to decipher the location of the final using the Vigenere Cipher. (Use this page to learn how to decipher the code)

The keyword is my dog's real name. This information is available without asking me (Don't ask I will not tell you, you're better than that). All of this can be done in the field with the exception of discovering Super-Geo-Dog's real name. Providing you take time to learn how the Vigenere Cipher works and you have the right documents with you. Then all you will need is paper and a pen. The
final is a regular sized cache with a few trading items. There will be a special FTF gift inside for the smarty pants that logs it first. Both the letters read top to bottom, left to right.
Hunting is not allowed in this preserve, but during hunting season, it's a good idea to wear your hunter Blaze orange. Us old Swamp Yankee's, sometimes loose track of our property lines while in the woods. So let's keep everyone safe. Remember that there is a Spring Turkey hunting season too!
