Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates.  Read the information below, and solve the puzzle to find the cache.   The puzzle is in the Gallery images. You will be looking for a small bison container.


 Mary, Queen of Scots, wanted to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I, and began exchanging messages with her co-conspirators, Anthony Babington, in particular.  This was dubbed the Babington Plot.  These messages were enciphered, although they were cracked by Elizabeth's codebreaker.  Mary was arrested, put on trial, and these messages were used to convict her.  Her life ended with a beheading. Please be sure to read the note attached to the cache, as we have had to move it, but the note will point the way to exactly where it is!!
