Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES. You'll need to work through two stages to decipher this. ย You can do them simultaneously or in sequence. ย There are two teeny hints on this page; the encrypted hint is a clue to both stages and should give the game away, so be sure you want to look at it. Feel free to email me for hints or if you spot a mistake in the code. If the code doesn't appear on your screen, look at the image gallery.

I'm adding a link to a password-protected Google Drive document that has the solution for the message. You don't need a Google account to access that page, but you do need to have made enough of an effort to solve the code that you know the password, which is the longest single word in the decoded message, all lowercase letters.

Solution

Congratulations to skraeling and Babyhum for co-FTF!

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
