Geocache Description:

The original Codes cache disappeared, so I decided to adjust GZ.  Since that meant reworking the puzzle, I figured I would make it into a new cache so folks who had found it already could grab another puzzle smiley (you will have to solve the puzzle again).  As before, the listed coords are not the location of the cache, just a place to park.

In order to find out where it is hidden, you will need to use many different codes and ciphers. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what they are, and I’ll even tell you the key (CODES, of course), but you’ll have to figure out when to use each one.

Latin, Maritime signal flags, Navajo code, Pigpen cipher, Playfair cipher, Roman numerals
Final coordinates are: N 39° 37.nnn W 078° 54.www


Find out if you solved the codes on GeoChecker.com.

As always, ask if you need help, and have fun!

Congrats to mastercat37 for the FTF!
