XantheTerra: This was a hard one to find and even had to direct some vastly experienced cachers to this hide. As the cache owner is no longer around to check on this, I will rather archive

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the co-ords provided. But can be solved by the puzzle below.


In order to solve this cache you will need to decode the co-ordinates from the following text: 

"HOYIFAFTIWEOTEERIFHEU
ERYNPEXTIPRETFTOEEYRO
TAWRHTUTUNTTNETRTRFR
IFHETUTNOSOYNOXNNWEH
SITNOR"

This is a transposition cipher, a code which contatins all the letters needed to read the message, but jumbled up. At the end of the decoded cipher will be 5 letters that work as part of the key, these can be ignored, as will be obvious. In order to break the cipher you will need a keyword of sorts. This can be obtained by the image provided. Remember, in the case of the keyword, there are no numbers.
