Geocache Description:

You are Robert Langdon, looking for the famous DaVinci Cache loaded with treasures beyond your imagination. You need to solve several puzzles before the cache is yours so pay attention. PLEASE READ ALL DIRECTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. NOTE THAT ON OCTOBER 20th, 2010 THE PUZZLE HAS CHANGED

Part 1
Solve the puzzle in the attached picture (called "Puzzle Stage 1") to find the final stage. You need to determine the correct coordinates.
Hint: it's connected to the NAME of the SUBJECT of the cache. DO NOT OVERTHINK IT - IT IS NOT RELATED TO A DATE OR A PAINTING.

Part 2
Before you head out you need to solve the second puzzle which will give you the information to open the cache log. Hint:The code you need is within the Mona Lisa.

Part 3
Go to the final location. There you will find the DaVinci Cache and loot. You will need to use your 'key' from Part 2 to unlock the cache log. The letters need to line up to the pin and may require some wiggling to open it.To get credit for the cache you must sign the log and take a picture of your name on the parchment. Please do not take the item that the log is locked in. So that it doesnt get confused w swag or a TB please only trade coins at the final. To close the cache log, you need to line up the letters again and then scramble them for the next person.

NOTES:
- The starting coordinates of this cache are for the trail head. There are also others closer to the final.
- The final is close to the trail so please be cautious of muggles

Good luck Mr Langdon and remember that Silas is never too far behind you!
