Geocache Description:

This is a relatively new park which has opened. My wife and friend used to walk this one a lot before it was turned into this nice place.


The Coordinates are bogus ones, do not go there!

This is a short multi that you will need to do some sorting out first before you go to the GZ.

Try and suss out the strange garbage to get to the next instructions.

Most of us relied on a form of communication that involves envelopes and stamps. In our electronic world, we now have an alternative that just about everyone uses. Typically we used plain text but now we like to send attachments to our text as well. This poses difficulties for the system to process in its raw form so we have to convert this form to a text representation before it can be sent. There are a few coding schemes in use today for this medium but this one has been in early use up to now.

Files output by ------- consist of a header line, followed by a number of body lines, and a trailer line. The ------- command will ignore any lines preceding the header or following the trailer. Lines preceding a header must not, of course, look like a header.
The header line is distinguished by having the first 6 characters "begin " (note the trailing space). The word begin is followed by a mode (in octal), and a string which names the remote file. A space separates the three items in the header line.
The trailer line consists of "end" on a line by itself.

There are also on line tools on the net to sort this jumble out!!

"Alert: You are about to download a file in order to obtain further details needed to find this geocache. As the cache owner, I represent that this file is safe to download although the files needed to complete this geocache have not been checked by Groundspeak or by the Geocache Reviewer for possible malicious content. This file is a standard windows text file that contains raw text and is quite safe. The decrypted file generated is also standard text as well so is benign. As a result, you are downloading this file at your own risk.

Go to this Link and right mouse click and "save as" to sort out the puzzle.

Just displaying it on a web page may not make it work correctly! Saving as, will create a text file that can then be cut and pasted into the decoding utility of your choice, note some OS's support this code by default.

Cache is approx 1 Litre cammo container.

When first placed it contained:-
A PCMCIA Modem card
Spikey ball
Whistle.
Also there is the Shakespeare Trust Travel Bug as well.

Happy Caching.
