This cache is not located at the coordinates given. However, the cache can be found with some difficulty with the information provided. There will be two additional caches placed providing "key phrases" to use to decipher additional hints to make the find easier if not down right a gimme. This Cache was placed in the woods over a year ago and has a long soak time to blend.
You'll need to use the Internet prior to heading out for this cache. Trusted sources recommend searching for a browser based cryptography tool...possibly even one in Javascript so that you don't have to install any additional software on your system (assuming your browser supports Java and is enabled to process Javascript). It'll need to support 256 bit keys using AES. Once you find the right tool and cypher keys from the other caches you can decrypt the following hints on where exactly to find the cache. I'd recommend at least printing out the hint once decrypted and taking it with you in case you need to pull it out while searching! (thanks to The Zenone Family for this wicked idea. Check their cache Black Box GCKMKM ) Oh, I neglected to mention the Pass Phrases will be located in two other caches you'll have to find first to decrypt the additional hints. This cache is placed in the center of Castle Rock State Park. This is not an easy cache to claim as there are no trails directly to the cache. Use terrain features and topo maps to find this cache. There are many different routes to the cache. One route allows you minimal elevation changes other than a dropping into the cache and the subsequent hike back out. Plus the bushwhacking along the way. Yet the other route gives you some major elevation changes. Depending on the route elevations change can be anywhere from extreme to just steep and consistent. So you will need to plan your adventure carefully. There are several other cache's in the area so be sure to grab them on the way to this spot from wherever you start your adventure. The difficulty rating is based upon the original set of coordinates and clues within this description if your brave enough to venture into the wilds with such limited information. However, with that said there will be two additional caches that contain a cypher key that you can use to decode two additional hints to make the adventure a little easier. The first deciphered message will give you additional clues that will make the find a little easier if you go for it after only one additional cache. The last deciphered message will be a complete spoiler and give you everything you need to find the cache. However, your going to need to find the first cache cypher key to get the coordinates for the last cache. Or you can do this without the additional clues and go for a very difficult find. The original cache with little clues to get you in the game. Will you be the first to find? The coordinates posted are not the cache but will put you within 360 feet of the actually cache. Once at these coordinates your standing on a ridge line and you will need to shoot a compass heading of 260 degrees and venture out to find the hide. Your going to be looking for a well camouflaged peanut butter jar in a circle of twisted sentinels. This is not your typical camouflage job. So look for the obvious as it will be out in the open. Congratulations to mayela mingi for making the First Attempt and posting the results. Just remember that you will need to use a topo map to figure a good way to get up on the saddle.
