Geocache Description:

Congratulations to gpajim on FTF !!!


The listed coordinates are not correct, do not go there, unless you want to visit a Level 3/4 Prison.

While thumbing thru an old book, dated 1563 on the subject of cryptography, I found a slip of paper with these symbols. In the book was a working set of rococo cipher disks. Decode the cipher, and find the cache.

The inspiration for this cache came from Digraph. While trying to find the symbols for this cache, I learned all about early cryptography. Like everyone else, I had a hard time finding the symbols. Hopefully, you will enjoy the history as much as I did.




The cache is located 57.496 yards away from the puzzle coords at a bearing of 190.036 degrees true. Any posted spoilers encrypted or not will be deleted.
