Six Little Spookies: It is sad to have to let this one go, but it’s past time. Things have changed, and it’s a very difficult one to perform maintenance on. Thanks to everyone who hunted it and helped with maintenance.

Geocache Description:

This cache was laid out specifically for folks rotating through Al-Udeid, so they can log Qatar without going outside the wire. Note: you must be able to get on base to find this cache, so it would not be suitable for most civilian geocachers.

WARNING: Without a little research this cache may be impossible to complete! But with a little research (Oh look, there's the Media Center!), this should be a fun little walk around for you to complete as you wait for your rotator to depart.

Your final goal is to find the cache hidden inside one of the buildings nearby. Begin at the coords above. Near this spot you will see two signs. The signs say different things but will help you figure out what "6" is equal to. Use that answer as a multiplier to decode the simple substitution cipher for the next clue. Truncate! No rounding!
