Geocache Description:


The Ammo Can is NOT the cache.

The cache is hidden within (inside) the Ammo Can. The Log is inside the cache.

Locating the Ammo Can is not the same as finding the cache

 

BOGUS COORDINATES

you expected that, right?

There appears to be no field of knowledge where Leonardo DaVinci has not made a contribution to the world: anatomy, physiology, mechanics, hydraulics, physics, philosophy, mathematics, writing, engineering, orbital mechanics, botany, and optics were all studied and revealed by his genius.

Although unnamed by DaVinci, the so-called CRYPTIX invention is attributed to him. The coordinates for the Cryptix can be found in the puzzle shown below:

 

ano h+J!J pajpuny +yb!a +u!o& xis saajbap ua^ala pajpuny auo +saM


h+J!J pajpuny ua^as +u!o& omt h+uam+ saajbap omt y+j!y+ y+joN

 

Solving the Puzzle will lead you to a locked Ammo Can that contains a CRYPTIX, that, in turn, contains the log. How is one to open the the Ammo Can to gain access to that danged Cryptix, then, open the Cryptix to “ink the log” and claim this cache and add to your statistics? Find others, you must -

  1. To open the Ammo Can, locate Nesting Tribble 1. There you will find the 3 number combination of the lock: ? - ? - ?

  2. To open the Cryptix, you must locate Nesting Triubble 2. There reveled to you, will be the proper order of the Cryptix symbols.

Opening the CRYPTIX

To open the dang thing and sign the log, Ya gotta find the solution and align the symbols.

1. Find the Geocache,

2. Copy or photograph the order of the symbols found,

3. Align the symbols in their proper order, and,

4. Firmly grasp the “L” side (with the dials) and gently pull “R” out,

    After signing the log, hold the "L" with the opening facing downward and  making sure the log container is in its place, slide the “R” back into the "L" and spin the dials, replace the lock on the Ammo Can and spin the dials
