A cache with more than just roots and rocks to trip you.
Cayute -- reborn -- lest the rascals that steal caches feel too smug in their criminal activity. The site is so ideal I intend to keep it as a virtual cache.
Come, solve the puzzles and check out the view. If you accurately describe the distinctive feature near the former cache site in an email to me, I will accept your log entry. Otherwise, it will be deleted. Cheaters shouldn't prosper.
An old timer name for a brand new open space perfect for this cache. Believe the signs warning of snakes and be careful where you walk. Most of the time you can stay on a well defined hiker/bikeway/horse manure littered trail. Bikers are invited but in winter the pathway does get icy so be careful. There is a bikerack available at a visitor center about 3/4 of a mile from parking so a combination bike & hike would be fun and save time.
The initial location is in longitude/latitude coordinates, but you will need to switch to UTM/UPS (and know how to use it) in order to locate the cache. Bring a paper and pencil and maybe even a calculator because the clues require skills designed to help the younger set demonstrate their 3R abilities.
Modify the standard Decryption Key by converting the letters into their numeric equivalent starting with A =1, B=2, etc.
