Geocache Description:

Please note the cache is not at the posted cordinates.
We do hope you don’t go insane trying to figure out this cipher

This cache was inspired by The Berryville Cipher
Many thanks to Stephen and Krista for the inspiration and challenging caches they have placed. We are nowhere near as good at placing challenging caches as they are or finding them. But we decided after much hair pulling and head banging on the desk while deciphering The Berryville Cipher we would make a rather decent challenging cache of our own. So, we bring you: The Winchester Cipher.
Please search only between the hours of sunrise and sunset.
Good Luck and byop
