This is a six-stage multi-cache that will take you on a little less than a mile total journey. This multi-cache takes you along some of the best views of the Danville Riverwalk Trail and should be a fun challenge. This could be a great place to keep trackables and valuable swag. If you like this cache, feel free to give it a favorite. Keep caching!
Stage 1 - It is located at the listed coordinates, hidden in plain sight, and blends perfectly with the terrain of this area. It will have coordinates for the next stage.
Stage 2- This is a virtual stage. Here you will be looking for a sign that says “peace be upon you”… just in a different language. Here, you will need to decode the coordinates using only the first 9 of 11 characters as if you set them down at a flat 90° angle to the left. Use the decoding key below. You will also have to use the word at the bottom of the sign, directly behind this sign. I have interchanged the coordinates with some of the letters in the word, and you just have to list which number the letter is in the word, in the coordinate box. Example-Juniper J is 1, u is 2, and so on. So if U is the second letter and U is in the spot of a coordinate number, place a 2 where U is.

Stage 3- This is a physical stage. Here, you will need to find the set of coordinates to get to the next stage. Look for something out of place.
Stage 4- This is a physical stage. Here will lie the coordinates to the next stage. Look for something unique. Note: you WILL NOT go far off the trail at all in this multi-cache.
Stage 5- This is a virtual stage. You will be looking for a sign among several signs to decode the next and final location, using the puzzle decrypter below. This sign has 25 characters or letters. I suggest you take a picture of this sign to make it easier. The coordinates will be in the same format as the puzzle for Stage 2. For each character, as if you were reading normally, from left to right, on the sign, it will go as this: the first J will be J-1, the second J will be J-2, and so on. You will have to count from left to right til the letter has appeared the number of times listed beside the letter. Then start from the very first letter, counting how many letters there are til that letter, including that letter. Example- Hannah (H-2 is the 6th letter and the coordinate key shows “6th letter-3”, so in the place of H-2 put 3.)
3rd letter-3 13th letter-3 24th letter-3 18th letter-2 25th letter-9 16th letter-4 17th letter-8

Final Stage- Here lies the cache. You will have to look decently well for this, as it is well hidden to avoid muggle eyes. Please be gentle with this final location, as I want to keep this going for years.
