Geocache Description:




HAPPY NEW YEAR

Sometimes geocaching is like a bowl of cherries.
But when you end up with a DNF it may seem like you have gotten a rotten deal.



The cache is NOT at the above coordinates.
The above coordinates are in the middle of a swamp.
There is nothing there except rotten vegetation.
Do not go to the above coordinates.

This is another brain tangling puzzle for those that like to exercise their neurons!

This cache was inspired by MtFireFlyer’s puzzle cache “Zulu” near Turah Montana.

But I have added a little twist of my own.

You must solve the puzzle below to obtain the correct coordinates.

Use the geochecker below to verify your solution .
Uses Caesar Shift 10 Cypher also called Rotate 10 Cypher or Rot-ten Cypher.
To decrypt-Count ten letters backward in alphabet (do not count the letter you started with)
To encrypt-Count ten letters forward in alphabet (do not count the letter you started with)
If you click on the "Good Luck" icon below you will get a decrypter page.
Copy puzzle letters and paste them into the decrypter "Roted Text" box.
Then select "Rotation to use R-N, N = " 10 (rot ten) in the drop down window.
Then press the "Decrypt" button.
See you results in the results box on the left side of the page.

FTF prize is a new Gerber Bear Grylls compact multitool in a ready-to-go geocache container.
This container is hidden on the ground in the fence corner under an old wooden board at:
The solved North coordinates minus .016
The solved West coordinates plus .039

No need to cross the fence for the FTF prize or the cache.
Reach above the wood rail fence for the cache.
Look for the white hanger wire when replacing the cache.



 

Good Luck
