My wife has been an NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse) for 35+ years and every year at this time I publish an NICU series cache. I started this series in 2011 to pay homage to NICU nurses, and all other nursing types, to raise awareness for the wonderful work they do in hospital patient care. This cache is placed to coincide with National Nurses Day on May 6th which kicks off National Nurses Week running May 6th – 12th. If you want more information on NICU you can go to this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_intensive_care_unit
Coordinates to solve are: N33 19.abc, W111 50.def
Your puzzle is to decrypt the quote below. Once you have decrypted the quote you will need to search the author of the quote. Follow the final steps to help solve for “abc” and “def”.
“CSFVKV HFK GOKFK AOKC GOK EHVG JFKHGO YV GHIKC HCB CSFVKV HFK GOKFK AOKC GOK TYFVG JFKHGO YV GHIKC. HEGOLSPO YG YV XLFK KCZLDHJEK GL NKEKJFHGK GOK JYFGO, YG YV ZSVG HV YXULFGHCG GL NLXTLFG YC BKHGO.”
a = # of times the letter “G” appears in the solved quote,
b = # of letters in the first name of quote’s author,
c = # of times the letter “Y” appears in the solved quote,
d = # of letters in the last name of quote’s author,
e = # of times the letters “B” plus “D” appears in the solved quote,
f = # of times the letter “M” appears in the solved quote.
NOTE: Please be gentle with the cache host, I do not want it to get broken.
