Geocache Description:


     This is a mystery cache.  The listed coordinates are fake and the cache is not located at these cords.  You must solve the mystery to locate the final. 

With Native American languages already being an infrequently-spoken language, the USMC Native American code talkers further secured the communications by devising code words in the native languages, thus achieving a code-within-a-code system.

A first nation tribe located in the South West has quite a back story and history using a special code during WWII. An elite group (code-talkers) from this first nation tribe were instrumental in conveying secret messages during WWII. The code talkers were not combat soldiers. Instead, they were brought into the military for something singular only they possessed: their native tongue. This first nation tribe, using their native language and code words became an integral component of a new cryptographic code that proved unbreakable for decades. ** Note: Excerpts paraphrased from Wikipedia.
It is worth a Google search to read the amazing history of this coding.

The cache contains some swag: Including a key chain, green frog, old stamps, an old belt buckle, some of Arliecon's old ham qsl cards, and a HD Supply coin. There is also an FTF prize for the first on the scene. There is parking about .12 from the final cache. There is a mild up hill climb. The cache is less than 2 miles from the fake cords.

Good luck and enjoy the solve ~ Arliecon

Congrats to LewM and SandiM for the FTF. Way to go guys.
