Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!

  This is a puzzle cache designed for kids -- target age is about 7 or 8. My friend Megan and I used to pass encrypted notes to each other using this code. It is a substitution puzzle. I look forward to having my niece figure this one out!

 FTF prize:

UR#1 Geocoin – unactivated J

I had thought of placing this in one of the new city parks nearby, but in the last few days, I witnessed people camping in the parks. Parking is very convenient.
