Less Than Infinity (Infinity Lite) series - caches are not at given coordinates. Caches are red, blue or purple bison tubes hanging around eye-level (+/- a foot) in trees along/near Forest Road 462.
This is an attempt to help those who do not know where to start with many of the nearby Infinity series. It also is an attempt to define my genre: poor-man's, mathematically-oriented geo-art for those who like to solve puzzles and hike, bike, ride horses or noisy vehicles in the Cibola National Forest wilderness areas in the East Mountains.
The caches are colorful and easy to spot once you locate the right tree to circle. The puzzles are straightforward once you have the right tools (which are mentioned in the descriptions).
The Caesar cipher is one of the simplest encryption techniques and was used by Julius Caesar in his personal correspondence. For this cipher, the alphabet is rotated so many characters. For example, ROT3 (rotate three characters): A = D, B = E, C = F, etc so "FEED CAT" would turn into "IHHG FDW".
So you can either do this long hand or use an on-line cipher solver. I use rumkin.com/tools/cipher and followed the rotN link under Caesar ROT13. Remember, you want to Decrypt (or subtract the N of rotN from 26). I recommend copy and paste to minimize typos:
