Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates!

So can you translate any latitude encryption? Some people just seem to be experts at figuring out coordinates from random strings. Lots of different geocaching puzzles have used a form of encryption to make the coordinates obscured from plain view. There are a lot of different ways to hide coordinates in plain view.  It is the job of the puzzle solver to determine what encryption was used and then to determine the coordinates, before going to find the geocache (unless you are good at sniffing out the location). Here is a puzzle for you to try out your decryption skills.

Some cryptography you translate after learning encryption. Some encryptions vex everyone’s nerves.

See if you can make sense of this and find the geocache.
