Geocache Description:

This cache is a puzzle cache and the fifth in the Capture the Flag series started by Darkmoon.

The Capture the Flag game is being played by the cachers in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas. The objective now is for a cacher in the Tulsa area to find this cache, capture the flag, and re-hide it in a new cache in the Tulsa area.

Anyone can visit and claim CTF V but the flag should only be taken by a Tulsa cacher willing to play by the rules set by Darkmoon in the original Capture the Flag cache (GCJDFA).

The coordinates above will take you to the Flag Plaza in Stars & Stripes Park on Lake Hefner. That seems like an appropriate location for a Capture the Flag cache. The actual cache is not hidden at the above coordinates but is within ½ mile (yes, another Lake Hefner cache). The successful flag hunter will be able to deduce the proper coordinates from this puzzle:

North GU* GA.EUL

West FRT* GH.NRT

Each digit (0-9) is represented by a unique letter in the above puzzle. If you would like to e-mail me when you have deciphered the final coordinates, I will confirm that you have correctly solved the puzzle. The cache is a regular cache in a large camouflaged plastic jar. You will encounter high grass and dense brush for last part of the quest.

CACHE AWAY!
