Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the listed location. The difficulty lies in determining final location. Terrain difficulty lies in figuring out the lock combination.

So DO Zombies eat sauerkraut and bratwurst? As a rule? I have no idea, but this one does. There’s no better way to celebrate our first geoca… Ahhhh, Nuts… Just spilled some of this fine German food on the laptop. There go my coordinates and lock combination!

north: ZUCPP CJARN XZKST

west: GNIDF JHVAN REFDH

combo: IKOAA QXWGO QTVUE

Huh… So that’s what happens when a computer meets some real sauerkraut. Or some really sour Krauts. Or something like that. Oh, and a wee bit of really, REALLY old cannoli or something. Well, this Zombie’s also pretty lazy, so I’ll leave decrypting this to someone else.

The location of the listed coordinates is not even a little bit important. However, the numbers in the listed coordinates are VERY important. All of them. Really Important. The cache is located on our property, so if you do manage to figure it out, feel free to park at the end of the driveway, but be respectful of the property. Don’t be afraid to walk right up to the box. But like G.I Johann says, knowing how to get here is half the battle. The other half is figuring out how to get the combination to the box (hence the terrain rating). Also, please limit unannounced cache visits to daylight hours. While we do trust the caching community at large, we do live in Prince George's County after all. We have been burglarized a couple times before, so I pack heat now, and I qualified Expert at the range on the last visit... HOOAH! But hey, if need be, come anytime, just send a message first ;)

For the first to both find and open the box, there’s a full (albeit previously circulated) set of “F” German Euro coins. I’m not even going to pretend this is going to be easy! Maybe one can call it EnJAtkins99 paying homage to all the crazy puzzle caches around here.

Anyway, Good Luck, And GO ARMY!!

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Use Geochecker if you must, but I promise you that when you get the right answers the right way, you'll absolutely know it. I welcome feedback on whether I over or under rated the levels for this cache. There is a slight chance I may have bitten off more than you can chew.

"Ausgezeichnet!" to the Boccos for being the First to Solve, and First to Find, and First to Unlock!
