Geocache Description:

This cache was hidden as part of the 5th Annual Vancouver Island Hide-&-Go Cache.

PLEASE IGNORE THE ABOVE COORDINATES. They lead you to what used to be a small lake that was drained to expand the local landfill site. Although they will indeed lead you to a great place to dump garbage, they will only tell you that the cache is in the Greater Victoria area.


However when the lake was drained to accommodate the additional refuse, an archeological search of the muddy bottom was undertaken which uncovered many artifacts, including giant cedar roots, old pottery, stone and WILD & WOOLLY ANIMAL bone tools, and a puzzling old clay tablet which has to date remained undeciphered. This is a photo of the inscriptions on the tablet:

It is believed that the ancient symbols may describe the location of a hidden treasure. Perhaps you can help. Who knows what riches may await the person or persons who manage to translate the meaning!!!!

Obviously the first finders will have the first access to treasure which might be worth millions or possibly billions!!

The final location is a quiet location near a creek. A primitive WILD & WOOLLY animal trail leads right to it. The cache container is a green 1 litre L&L wrapped in a WILD plastic bag.

The cache contains a WOOLLY MAMMOTH and other WILD & WOOLLY ANIMAL themed dollar store trivia, logbook, pencil, and FTF, STF, and TTF prizes which could brighten your day if lucky! All cachers on site at the time of find get to share ONE prize. i.e. Please do not take three of them if there are three of you in a caching group nor two of them if there are two in your caching group, etc.

It is not necessary to solve the anagrammed cache title to find the cache, but it does contain the letters of a vague hint of the cipher used.

You can check your answer for this puzzle on Geochecker.com. It is set for a slightly fuzzy solution.
