Geocache Description:


Cache #90 (AKA A Walk on the Hill)

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES - THOUGH IT MAY BE A GOOD PLACE TO START TO COLLECT THE INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED TO FIND THE CACHE.

I struggle with Puzzles that include ciphers. Normally I can determine that a cipher is needed but can never establish which is the correct one. So in this case I have given you the name of the cipher (AUTOCLAVE) - all you need to do is work out the keyword. The following contains what is needed to start collecting the information for the final coordinates. On your walk you might find some Birds and Butterflies!

Once you have the required information this will help you to decipher the following text (note that a different cipher and keyword is used).

Final location is a quiet street but stealth will be still required as a few houses about. An extraction tool (for cache and log) may also be helpful.

Enjoy the walk!And hopefully you have to do it now!

FTF - Congratulations t88232 - you chose a hot day to go for a walk!
