Geocache Description:

A simple puzzle, for an upcoming MISSION GC

If you can hold off the FTF or the puzzle solving/finding urge and wait until the weekend

Dec 2019 update: Container is now a little black magnetic nano - previous container went missing

After getting some inside information on the next Mission GC, I figured I'd assist some of the more compulsive cachers who have cleaned out the local area of puzzle caches. Cache is larger than a micro, but not a small, capable of holding micro trackables and small swag. Log only, so BYOP (bring your own pen/pencil). WheresGeoge dollar and a trackable to move along for the first to find (or not).

Julius Caesar used one of the earliest ciphers to communicate with his generals (circa 58 B.C.) Mission GC hasn't used that cipher in this series, but I am. So your job is to decrypt the follow message to find out the coordinates of the final cache.
