Geocache Description:


We Present to you our first puzzle cache.

While walking in the Shadow Pines area after a very windy day , today the wind was only 8 knots, R of NanR picked up a piece of paper blowing around.   He looked at it and said that he had no idea what it said, but wondered if it was a puzzle for a cache.  He is not very good at solving them so he brought it home to N of NanR, together they brainstormed a few ideas and tried several different things. 

 It said:

Up on solving it they knew it was a Geocache and wanted to find it.  Again R went back to the area and he found this on the ground.
