Geocache Description:

Annie needs your help....she is at the safe house protecting a key double agent known as Dragonfly. Dragonfly's cover has been blown. Your mission is to get money and new identity credentials to Annie at the safe house so Dragonfly can make a safe escape with a new identity.

As with any covert operation you will have to pay attention to details. Initially you will have to decode a cypher which will give you the location of the Mark. Once at this location the Mark will help you understand how to open the Lock Box. The Lock Box contains the money, the new passport, and the instuctions on how to get to the safe house. Take these with you and deliver them to the safe house (yes, we mean LEAVE them in the safe house).

During your mission you will be getting information from other opertatives:

Jade Fusion Cheng: code name Bamboo

Paulie Gonuchi: code name Poligon
UPDATE: Super Agent Sandy forced Poligon to temporarily evacuate. On his way out, he sent us some sort of code…Update: Agent Sandy has retired and Poligon has moved back in, he revoked the code you will have to go see him.

Hailey Rose: code name Guinness

Mike Nickowski: code name Sissors

Since operatives are always mindful of being tailed, you will be traveling 10 - 15 miles on your mission. The opertatives you are meeting up with are also being evasive so they will be changing locations as they see fit. Leave no trace of where you have been and replace everything as you found it or better to ensure the missions of your fellow operatives. Remember, a good spy would never go on a mission without taking something to keep notes with, binoculars,and tweezers! And poking around in the dark draws attention - don't do it!


The first operative to complete the mission will be rewarded with a Cabela's Mini Tool to use on future missions and a one-of-a-kind commemorative commendation.

Congratulations to admo1972 for his quick work being the first agent to complete the mission, but Annie still needs all of you to help!

Solve the Cipher to find the Mark:
NJPSX SLYPSX SVJ . SVJ LTIGPOG DIG SVOISX SLPOO QOUOISX NJTP IYIOSOOI . IYIO LTIGPOG DIG SVOISX NJTP

Use the following to unlock the Lock Box:
If Mark is X digits 2, 3, 4   If Mark is Y digits 1, 3, 5   If Mark is Z digits 3, 4, 5


The Lock Box is on private property, but the owner has given their permission for you to come on to the property enough to get what you need. For those of you concerned about this, you can reach the container from the sidewalk, it's in the flower pot about 30 feet towards the woods from the mark!

Annie and Dragonfly need you...now get going and watch your back!
