Geocache Description:

Introduction


The "Metal Cipher" series of geocaches is designed to give
experience in hand solving simple ciphers. All the caches will be
micro and attached to, or in, man-made structures to give some
physical challenge.

The initial series will include tin(GCZ1C6), bronze(GCZ4FB),
silver(GCZA96) and gold (GCZK1E) and will represent ciphers of
increasing difficulty and are best attempted in order.

Although you could follow some crazy roads in the area to see something first, there isn't anything at the initial coordinates.
Why here? What have the citizens of Woodside done to bring this upon themselves? Very likely nothing but the cruel hand of fate has visited.
You've done the training, nailed platinum and titanium and now you seek further challenge? You've even completed the alphabet cipher series. You will need skills acquired from both cipher series to find the minutes of the final location in the sequence below.
