This cache has been archived.

inspicio: One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

Geocache Description:


 

Rotation ciphers have a long history, a famous example being the Caesar Cipher (also Caesar’s code or Caesar’s shift), a substitution cipher used to encode messages by substituting letters by other letters a fixed number of positions away in alphabetic location.

Double-encoding ROT13 results in a shift of 26, which is exactly the the original message and is the same as no encoding. This is often humorously termed 2ROT13 or ROT26.

Decrypting a rotationally encrypted message requires no key. It only requires the knowledge that rotational substitution is being used and also the number of ROTations. i.e ROT-1, ROT-13, etc
