If you ‘know your onions’, this cache may be
appealing (groan) to you! You either love onions or you hate
‘em. I dig ‘em! I’m talking about common
varieties of onions (Latin name: Allium cepa). These are the kind
that are eaten every day in a lot of dishes, either raw or
cooked.
If you cry when you peel onions, then perhaps you’ll cry
for joy when you solve the puzzle and find the cache!!! You will
find the necessary clues as you dig deeper and deeper.
You may need a few good laughs while solving this puzzle; some
peculiar laws relating to onions may be found
HERE.
You do not need to go to the posted coordinates which are for
waypoint one. But if you do go, you can describe what you found
there in your log.
You need to solve the following encryption:
(Get started by using the ROT-13 cipher which is familiar to
..... all cachers .... who cheat!)

Good Luck!
Please do not include spoilers in your logs. Logs with
spoilers will be deleted immediately. If you believe there are any
problems with the cache setup, please advise me privately by e-mail
so that I may fix them if necessary.
NOTES:
(1) Winter friendly.
(2) A good cache to start doing during rotten weather.
(3) Time required to solve the encryption can be as little as 1
hour if you go about it the right way.
(4) Time to travel from your car to the cache and back to your
car is about 1 hour.
