This cache was inspired by the “Playfair!” cache GC1B4VG placed by kandhberry in Huntington, WV.
The coordinates above place you in the parking lot to start your search. It is on private property (The Presidents’ House Bed & Breakfast) the owner (me) grants permission to geocache there. However this is a daylight only cache.
If you've ever watched the "National Treasure" movie serieS then you know about playfair ciphers. To find this cache, I give yoU a set of coordinates, some playfair ciphers, and the keyword hidden within this messaGe. For an understanding of playfAir ciphers and how to use them, I suggest starting at Wikipedia or some other online information service. There are web resources that can help you decipheR my code.
Here is your first cipher:

Finding the cache is easy but getting into the container requires opening a cryptex (for you fans of “The Da Vinci Code”) to do that require solving this second cipher:
nw vi rp ak rs yu rm kb es oz zt dp bl ru nl ou gv
DO NOT BREAK THE CRYPTEX! Pretend that breaking will destroy its contents, just like in the book/film.
Unlock and pull open the cryptex to reveal the key to opening the cache treasure box. When you finish please lock everything back up and re-lock the cryptex for the next player.
If you get stuck ring the doorbell. I'll help you out but I reserved the right to gently tease you. :)
FTF honors go to Wintz50, congratulations.
