Geocache Description:

This had to have been something to see and smell in the past. Not much here now. The cache is located about 30km south of Calgary. A visit to the posted coordinates will provide you with needed information to construct the cipher.

Unlike Blackjak’s GCA76E :), let’s try a simple REVERSE cipher starting on the SECOND line of the title. Assign a number to each NEW (not repeated) letter as you come across it. The first letter would be assigned a “0”, the second a “1”, the third a “2” and so on to number “9”. If you’ve deciphered correctly, the letter “S” would be a “7”. Now substitute your code into the following to get to the final cache: North LE° FE . HAI West RRF° RH . EDA The cache is a 1kg peanut butter jar containing: cachenote, “First to the Cache” card, logbook, pencils, sharpener, harmonica, mini screw driver set, magnetic key holder, eight ball, and a portrait of a Prime Minister. UPDATE - Nov. 11, 2014 - The REPLACEMENT cache is now a small lock 'n' lock. Good luck and happy hunting.

UPDATE - Apr 7,2020 - A Picture of the sign is on the cache page in case it is no longer at the Posted Coordinates.
