Geocache Description:


In the ROYAL relm of Silver Spring, a geocache has been spotted. The ROYAL King of Silver Spring has decided to send out the best geocachers in the kingdom to find it. He has invited you to participate finding this ROYAL cache. But wait! There is one small dilemma- the guardians of this cache will not give you the location of it. You must find the coordinates out for yourself! They gave you this clue:

TIE␣EINP␣NE␣␣NEDERENVEERH␣TRF␣␣TENXTES␣EENIINVHRIDEFIOS␣␣WSTVESO␣TE␣N␣ TGESTNIENSEEYEG␣␣P␣␣FOTYHG␣YENVIISV␣NRZOOFOI

There are muggles in this area for most of the day, so please use stealth retrieving and replacing the cache. There is also parking scattered around the cache area in the form of garages, parking lots, and parking meters. Some of these cost money. Good luck!

Update 9/2/18: Cache and puzzle changed. Coords are way more accurate, and hint is much harder, but more functional. Cache on! Please, recheck your coordinates and resolve the puzzle as the old coords are too far away to be used!!

Update 1/16/21: Altered the puzzle text (but not the coordinates) so that spaces in between characters are move obvious.
