Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates but is less than 1 km. away from them.

This is the second cache in the "Another Cipher" series. Each cache has a different cipher to decode to determine the actual coordinates of the cache. The cache is a small grey bison tube within 30 metres from the closest part of a trail.

The first part of the puzzle is a jumble puzzle.

CMOIR- (4,+)(6,+)
IUTLM- (12,+)(2,+)
YTEMRYS- (13,-)( 3,-) ( 14,-)
GSAW- (8,+)(10,-)
RGOHEWI- (7,-)
EPINHO- (5,+)
NOROGE- (11,+)(1,+)(9,*)

Use the underlined letters to solve the next step (unscramble the words first, then use the letter).

Within the brackets, each number determines the order the of the underlined letters to solve the final coordinates. The numbers are from 1-14 and they are already in order in each row. Also in the brackets beside each number is an equation symbol.

Once the letters are ordered by number, identify the cipher to solve this puzzle (see hint below). Use the cipher to get two numbers for each letter.

For each set of numbers, perform the order of operation written out above. They are in order.

Roadside parking is available for the cache on Elgin Park Drive or Button Crescent. Approaching from the north-east is likely the driest route, particularly in the wet months. There is a geochecker link provided below.
