Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache was desgined by me to be solved by well us the Kids.
Dad has all these fancy items to solve puzzles, and I don't get to help much, so I thought
lets do one that we can solve, and let Mom and Dad watch for once.
There are two Stages, then the Final.
I hope you like it.

CLUE #1: Oaxv cqn vrmmun xo cqn ujkharwcq px fnbc cqrach oren onnc
               Shift Key is 9
Thought you might like to see the FTF prize

You will need to make yourself your own decoder.....

You will need:
• Scissors
• Paper clip
• Paper fastener (sometimes called a brad) to fasten the two papers together
• Crayons or colored pencils (optional)

What you need to do:
• Print out this page so you can cut out the wheels below
• Put the smaller wheel on top of the larger wheel and use the paper fastener (brad) to
   attach them together at the dot MAKE SURE THEY ARE “CENTERED”
• Unfold the fastener tabs underneath securely

How to work the cypher wheel:
• Decide how many places you want the alphabet to “shift” for your first cipher.
For example: If you choose 22, the alphabet shifts twenty two letters, so line up the
                    Lizard’s tail on the inner wheel with the letter W on the outer wheel.
Use the paper clip to hold the wheels together until you want to change the cipher.

Try decyphering this message: CAKYWYDEJC EO BQJ
• Hint: Use the letter W as the “key” for this cypher. Align the Lizard’s tail with the letter W on the outer wheel.
• Remember: To decipher (figure out) a letter, read the outer wheel and find corresponding letter on the inner wheel.
• Don’t get discouraged if it seems hard at first – just keep practicing
