Geocache Description:

This cache was placed in honor of April Fools' Day. All information on this cache page is suspect, at best. The cache is not at the posted coordinates!!! Solve the puzzle, and find the cache.

April Fools!!!!!

After solving the puzzle, you will be lead on the adventure of a lifetime! Be sure you've packed all the proper equipment: climbing gear, scuba, you'll know what it is when you see where you're going!

The puzzle is a twist on ROT 13. In the table below, the numbers in the top row tell you how far to rotate the letter below it. For example, the first letter would be "N."

18 24 9 21 10 1 16 11 0 17 4 0 23
V O Z S V N B I Y N E G K

Once at Ground Zero, you will be looking for a Ziplock with a log in it.

I'd recommend a felt tipped pen, or perhaps a wood burner to sign in.
