Geocache Description:

A beginner's puzzle cache

The cache is not at the listed location. Its coordinates can be determined from the following calculations:

South:  BF   H(Q-R).(Z-A)X(F-V)
East:  LCJ  WN.(K+U)XE

The cache is located near a building which contains a lot of words.



About this cache:

Those who have been paying attention know that Owl lives in Zytheran country and across the river is Bob territory. So it is no surprise that in her first seven months of caching, she managed to find two unknown caches. (She is rather chuffed that her first was Cipher Alpha - a Zytheran cache!)

Owl now has 4% of her finds as unknown caches, with the tally growing rapidly and considerably more solved but not found. She is of the firm opinion that if there had been more simple puzzles this side of the city, she would have gotten into this type of cache much sooner.

So this is the first of as many simple puzzles that she can squeeze into the area to encourage other newbies to try this type of cache.

Thanks to Brisal5 for the cache container - an eclipse tin.
 
 
Note: This cache was originally placed at a different location, but the play was questioned, dictionaries consulted, the offending word removed and a new word put out. It apparently cannot be unarchived, so those noticing an identical container and the original logbook are correct in their observations. No matter what the logs below indicate, the first finders are deemed to be:
 
Gold: Bacon8100
 
Silver: Team Scoobster
 
Bronze: Miss GG, Team Imp666 & Darknstormy

Honorable Mention: The 4Zimmers
