bugging the owners for info about the cache. If you need help feel

I have wanted
to do one like for a while. One of my jobs I work at is in Lindon.
It is a place where individuals with disabilities can learn about
how to get a job or where they can work in a safe environment and
get paid for different things. I work with some of the students
there, helping them learn how to get a job. Some of the things they
do are connected to another company that will let them work with
some of the products, such as assembling and testing them, and
packaging them and sending them back to thecompany to be sold and
distributed. Some of the students have disabilities, and some do
not. The basic mission of A-TEC is to help kids who are in or just
graduated from high school and may need help getting a job because
they otherwise might not be able to succeed in life with out this
help. It is basically a transition from school to work. Some of the
students are able to eventually get a job and succeed for the most
part in life, while some with more severe disabilities stay there
and work there their whole life. Some of the places that we work
with are at A-TEC, while some are at other places. Some of the
places that allow us to work in conjunction with them are
Coverstar(they do pool covers and such), Fastenal, American Legacy
Pubishing(refer to my lindon work cache for more information), The
Bishop's Storehouse, Courage Reins(taking care of horses),and
Smith's and Shopko.
One of the
students I work with is blind. Blind people cannot see with their
eyes, and so they walk around with a cane, feeling their way
around. They can however, read, using a system called Braille. This
system uses dots that are punched through a special type of paper,
called braille paper. It is similar to that used for folders for
schools and businesses. There are several different types of
braillers, some are The Perkins Brailler, and some are used for
different purposes, such as work or school and can be powered by
elcetricity. These can be plugged in to a computer later and the
work retrieved and printed off in regular print letters.
Braille came
about in the 1800's by a man named Louis Braille. He was French. He
invented braille because the style of lettering back then was too
difficult for blind people to use. He was searching for a way that
blind people could write and read faster. He soon came out with
braille. It is a sequence of six dots although some forms use
eight. These can be used for letters and numbers, although he also
added ways that it can be used for entire words, punctuation, and
capitalization. The words are usually shortened on higher levels of
braille reading and writing. He also came out with ways ways to use
it for math, and even music, although these ways are very different
from the form that is used to read and write.
To find the
cache, you must solve this puzzle. Don't worry if it seems hard,
once you learn about it, it will become easier. Besides, braille
actually has 3 levels. I have used the easiest, with just a bit
from the second level to complete things and make things a bit
easier. If I had wanted to, I could easily make this a 4 or even a
5 star difficulty cache. SO NO COMPLAINING!
~I have
recieved e-mails and complaints about how hard some of my caches
are. I have tried to make this one a bit easier for people to
solve. If you still feel that you cannot solve this after a few
tries, I will help you. But please try to solve this on your own
before asking for help. It is actually more simple than you think.
I will try to get some site links up here for further readfing if
you so wish to do so.
Here is the
puzzle. It isn't that hard or long. The exact cache location is
also in the puzzle.
