Geocache Description:

Being familiar with the movie "The Da Vinci Code" may make this an easier find.


While out caching one day, I came across a letter from Robert Langdon that was in a cache I found in Eastern Washington. Mr. Langdon claims that while searching for the "Holy Grail" he came across some clues to a secret stache that belonged Da Vinci himself! Unfortunately, the part of the letter from Mr. Langdon that describes where the stache is located was written in some strange code that will need to be deciphered before the stache can be found.

Heres the coded message from the letter:

Uvczxv, tjrr nhy xtv jdhofpx ddk mp nfapmia ck ldkxe hfpir wbxvl ipikvp qtoik uzv hbb bkxfi, pipv flt mabpkw ips qge ddnv qyvlir rfpv. 

Apparently, once you decipher the code you will obtain information that takes you to a location where you will find the secret "stache". Mr. Langdon noted that the listed coordinates are bogus. They will not be helpful in finding the stache. 

Please refrain from giving any hints about any of the stages of this cache in your logs. This cache is meant to be hard hence the rating of this cache. Seekers who do not follow the rules, will have their log visited "Silas" and will be deleted. Seek nice and please play by the rules.

Good luck seekers!
