Geocache Description:

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 Autokey Vigenere cipher is an expansion of the Vigenere cipher ( see LT1 - Codename Murgatroyd). This cipher has a keyword and a pass phrase (which can be another keyword) to further confuse the message.

I recommend using an on-line cipher solver. I use rumkin.com/tools/cipher, remember, you want to Decrypt. I further recommend copy and paste to minimize typos:
