Geocache Description:

"Tis in my memory locke
And you yourself shall keep the key of it"

Shakespeare


The coords above is to the parking lot in a recreation area. The Cache is on a near-by Trail. You must solve the puzzle to get the cache coords. The Difficulty 3 is due to the puzzle, It is a easy find.

This stint for Trailerman is not a revenge, or get even cache. It is to honor a geocacher we all know as Trailerman. He is a great hunter and puzzle solver. He is relentless in finding the solutio to any problem, or puzzle. He will step up to the challenge. He is not a wusse when it comes to the hard caches.

He has somee rivalry among his friends that will tackle a puzzle cache in a heart-beat too. Trez, Erik, The Yoyo Man, Asagebrushgirl, Solar, JbzHow, and Smoothjazz. Don't forget Yellow Jacket. Just to name a few that I know..

So lets see who steps up to the plate first.

NOTE: typo's don't effect code

Cryptography is a very creative art. In order to decipher any kind of code it is necessary to employ both logical and analogical kinds of thought. Analogical thought is intuition gained by a quick gleaning of a pattern, or a flash of insight from the subconscious. Both pattern recognition and linear thought are necessary in code-breaking. Thus, this is an excellent exercise to train the mind to think using both halves of the brain.

This is a very old, and famous concealment system.. Concealment is not really a code or a cipher. It is a method of hiding a secret text in an otherwise innocent message or disguise. This one has combinations of two elements. These elements could be circle and square, black and white, male and female, or the location of big and small candy bars in a box. In this case it is italic and regular letters in this description. It begins with and including the words "This stint for Trailerman" and ends with the words "So lets see who steps up to the plate first".

I promise you that you don't have to be a mathematician to solve this. Not morse code,
And it has nothing to do with Pi.

This is a two fold cache. One solve the puzzle without help from other cachers. two find the goodies. So PLEASE Don't give it away.
Thanks and enjoy
