Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Those coordinates however are within 0.5 miles of the cache. The cryptogram below will provide you with the actual coordinates.

Dan & Mae recently (in a relative sense) found their 500th geocache. We knew they wouldn't want a commemorative cache, so we put one out (belatedly) anyway. We suspected that if we did put out a cache, they would want a cipher based puzzle cache. Well, be careful what you wish for!

The cache's coordinates and hint are contained in the following non-ACA cipher:

DREHTAOEPIÄM
ANEBSNEEPIÜS
XUTWNASAMNTN

Feel free to send me E-mails with questions concerning this cache. As with all my puzzle caches, I encourage you all to work in teams to solve it and/or to exchange hints with other cachers. After FTF, I may be cajoled into providing a 'how to solve this cipher ' tutorial or even the cache coordinates.
