The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. To complete this 3
part cache, you will need some knowledge of The Da Vinci Code
(either the book or the movie will be sufficient). I wouldn't
reccommend walking between the stages because they are quite a
distance apart, but feel free to drive, take a bus or bike to each
stage. The final stage will be a bit of an uphil, but not too
bad.
The tricky part will be finding the first stage. The rest is
fairly easy.
To find the first stage you will need to decode this puzzle.
North - O, Draconian Devil! Oh, Lame
Saint
West - So Dark the Con of Man
When you have decrypted the correct words, solve the puzzle and
it will give the coordinates to the first stage. The first stage
will lead you to the next and so on.
You will need to know this code:
A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 and so on to Z=26
N 49 53.ABC W 119
24.DEF
A=Second letter of the fifth word divided by 3
B=First letter of the second word
C=First letter of the sixth word divided in half minus 1
D=Second letter of the first word
E=Third letter of the third word
F=Fourth letter of the fourth word - 3
Once you have the coordinate check it here.

I tried very hard to fit each stage to the different parts of
the story. The first stage has to do with where the Cryptex was
hidden and the second stage is a word on the Cryptex and no that's
not for power, it's for irrigation! The third stage was the most
difficult to find a place suitable. Couldn't find anywhere that
would fit Roslin, but on the way to the 'gate' you'll see the vague
blade and chalice shapes in the barriers along the road. Masters
loving art is the scenery around you, and it is under the starry
skies!
Final Stage Parking:There is a small pullout on the downhill
side of the road for a small car to fit. You may walk up from the
bottom or park in the subdivision to the east and walk in for a
less steep hike. Park is closed at 11pm and is not open to traffic
in the winter.
