The Ultimate Cache (Binary) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoROCKS!: Geocaching in general doesn't appeal much to me anymore, and I am tired of maintaining this and my other caches. This one in particular was difficult to maintain by design as each geocacher received a unique puzzle for the second stage in order to cut down on all the cheating (battleship caches, eg). I believe it was Payakoi who actually solved both stages of the puzzle (I'm archiving this away from home and my email logs!), but as I had recovered the cache the day before he emailed me and I don't want to trek back out to replace the cache, he refuses to take appropriate credit and log the find. Congratulations anyway to Payakoi, the only person to have solved the cache, and he did it exactly as intended. Great job!

Geocache Description:

This is almost easier than the Penultimate because this code relies on traditional methods of encryption. For those who've had trouble on my other difficult caches, there are no easily missed subtleties and no misdirection here. Solve some puzzles by The Rat before attempting this difficult cache. No hints until an intrepid few first break the code.

For the curious, the binary reference stems from the fact that this is cache #100001; I just had to give you only 1's and 0's to start!
