Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED CO-ORDINATES. They indicate a good place to park just off the shoulder of Hwy 40 in a shallow ditch. Obviously, this may not work in the winter when you might have to park a little further away.

Many years ago, while wandering in the woods north of Baldy Mountain, I met an unusual gentleman. I must admit that he seemed, not quite right in the head, but that might have been because he was almost illiterate. He told me that he was looking for a site located deep in this forest where strange, maybe nefarious experimentation were rumoured to have been carried out. This area as you are aware harboured a POW Camp during World War II, a camp which morphed into a forest research station after the war. The story teller suggested that more things then forests may have been studied here in the early days!

My meeting with this fellow was brief, but he did leave me a coded message, a few strings of gibberish which I have shown below. He said it would lead me to the long abandoned site where these experiments had been carried out. He also said that he had heard that a small container had been hidden at the site about 1 meter above the ground so people who found it could record their names (if they dared) and maybe share their thoughts on what might have occurred there. Apparently, all you need to decipher the gibberish is on this page, although I am sure there are aids out there in the modern world which will speed up the task.

I have never been able to decipher the message, so this mysterious and secret site remains undiscovered.
