Geocache Description:

Coordinates given are for parking only. The History Series was created to share interesting stories and information from history.

Congratulations! You have found a virtual manuscript written in the Medieval Fraktur Font, which was widely used in the Germanic Lands at that time and taught in German schools until the 1940s. To find the cache container, open the picture file, below, and decypher the text into a usable set of coordinates. It is rumored that this manuscript was written by an English monk who fell in love with this Font while travelling through the Holy Roman Empire. The Container is a cammo'ed coffee can.

Once you determine the coordinates and arrive on site, please remember that it is dangerous and illegal to place a cache on Freeway easements. Therefore, do not approach the cache location from the freeway: it is not there.

CONGRATS to Rock Dogz for FTF.
