Located along our Northern Boarder, to protect the East form the assult of the West...in our game.
I created this cache and others that follow for an East Side Salvo to the West. We are placing more caches on the east side of Springfield. Our stragety is aimed at quality (cause we can’t match Phenixcachers quanity).
Some will be easy, some will challenge your geo-senses, others may drive you crazy.
As with all caches use stealth and caution where necessary.
The Coordinates at the top won't get you to the cache. Our Communications Division has sent the correct coordinates in Morse Code.
All you have to do is decipher the following code.
-. ...-- --... .---- ---.. ---.. ---.. ....-
.-- ----- ----. ...-- ----- ----. ...-- .---- ----.
Then you have to find a small pill bottle, wrapped in cammoe tape.

Samuel Morse:
Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872) was an American inventor and painter. After a successful career painting in oils (first painting historical scenes and then portraits), Morse built the first American telegraph around 1835 (the telegraph was also being developed independently in Europe).
A telegraph sends electrical signals over a long distance, through wires. In 1830, Joseph Henry (1797-1878) made the first long-distance telegraphic device - he sent an electric current for over a mile on wire that activated an electromagnet, causing a bell to ring.
Morse patented a working telegraph machine in 1837, with help from his business partners Leonard Gale and Alfred Vail. Morse used a dots-and-spaces code for the letters of the alphabet and the numbers (Morse Code was later improved to use dots, dashes and spaces: for example E is dot, T is dash, A is dot-dash, N is dash-dot, O is dash-dash-dash, I is dot-dot, S is dot-dot-dot, etc.). By 1838, Morse could send 10 words per minute. Congress provided funds for building a telegraph line between Washington D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland, in 1843. Morse sent the first telegraphic message (from Washington D.C. to Baltimore) on May 24, 1844; the message was: "What hath God wrought?" The telegraph revolutionized long-distance communications.
