Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT hidden at the posted coordinates.

 

Not long ago we were in the area looking for a geocache.  As we were searching a man frantically ran up to us.  He had a wild look in his eyes, hair was a mess, and he was covered in dirt.  He told us that he found the final clue and he might be in danger.  He asked us to drive him to the police station.  As we were running back to my Jeep a black SUV was speeding down the sidewalk towards us.  The man started running down the street afraid for his life.  He was screaming all kinds of random words, numbers, and letters.  The only thing we understood was the name Ben Gates and something about GG0601.  We watched him running through yards and across streets until he disappeared.  

After the commotion ended, we started to gather our cache supplies.  I noticed an old piece of paper stuffed in our geocaching bag.  After spending many late nights trying to decipher it we gave up.  After some serious thought we decided to publish the old paper as a geocache in hopes that someone would be able to understand it. 

If you can decipher it, just let us know where it leads you to.

Now that a couple cachers have found the cache... if the puzzle leads you to school property you have an error in your results.

Congrats to Yazz with the FTF!
