Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. You must solve this puzzle to find out where it really is...

The following encoded message

GDFDAXDDFAGF XXDXDFGDGADA AFADAADFXADF ADFFDFDFXXDX FGDAAFDGFFFF FDGFGAAGAFFA

can be deciphered using this Polybius Square



along with a transposition key word that shouldn't be too hard to guess. The only clue you should need is that the encoded message is broken up into 6 blocks of letters. Your decoded solution will eventually produce 6 numerical digits. Subtract the first three digit number from the decimal minutes of the posted North coordinate. Subtract the second three digit number from the decimal minutes of the posted West coordinate. You can check your answer here:
