Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coords.  This is not a kayak cache.  There is no need to enter the canal or get wet.  Solve the puzzle to get the real coordinates.


Simply solve the cipher below to get the coordinates. The cache is along the Erie Canalway Trail between Lockport and Pendelton. NYS has completed a portion of the trail along the historic Erie Canal. The trail is paved and is suitable for walking and biking. The surface is even suitable for strollers. The cache, however, is short distance off the trail. You won't be able to get a stroller there. The encryption is actually a two part cipher. When you decode the below text, it won't make sense until you decrypt it with the second cipher. Its easy if you know what cipher to use and what the below font is. Ok, maybe its not that easy... I have set the difficulty at 3.5. I have no idea if that is too low or too high. You tell me. Although I reserve the right to ignore you.

Terrain is 1.5. You won't get easier terrain on a Borst68 cache. Its on par with my "Day Road Bridge Debacle" cache so you have NO reason NOT to solve this cipher.

As always, a coordinate checker is included for your convenience and my entertainment.
