This puzzle cache is placed as part of a series of cipher caches. These caches are done in an effort to teach me, and any others, various techniques of cipher encryption and how to solve them.
It is not meant to be difficult, as the name of the type of cipher technique is provided, with a brief description and example . It will easily show you how to solve the clue and find the necessary coordinates that will lead you to the cache.
The PIGPEN CIPHER , is also known as MASONIC , FREEMASON'S , NAPOLEON , and the TIC-TAC-TOE cipher. It is a geometric simple substitution cipher, which exchanges letters for symbols which are fragments of a grid.
An example using this cipher above reads:- “ X MARKS THE SPOT “. Use this cipher technique to solve the message below to be able to find the cache location.
The cache is on the edge of private property. You can reach the cache without going onto the property. The property owner is aware and has given permission.
Congratulations to h**2 on a fast FTF!!
