Duck Pond Bridge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bunjil: I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

             - Cache Owner unable to maintain cache 
             - No response from the cache owner.
             - No cache to find or log to sign.
             - It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
             - Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

This cache was the GeoQuacks contribution to the Vic Cache Rush game. Unfortunately leaving things a little late and then some unforseen circumstances caused this cache to be submitted late, which rendered it ineligible to participate in the game. We did not foresee the controversy that its initial listing would cause and apologise for this. We hope that you accept that our actions were in good faith.

As you rush past here you may find a clue for the location of the final cache, otherwise, you will have to go at the pace of the ducks and find it in another way.
Answer to clue = A.

You will now be able to calculate the location of the cache:

BB = 89 - A
CC = 9 x A

S 37° 47.6BB' E 145° 06.7CC'

The final step, for those in a rush, is to continue to the 3rd waypoint of this cache to find the encryption key to decrypt the secret keyword required to log the cache. Remember to get the secret code from the first page of the cache logbook.

S 37° 47.765' E 145° 06.801'

On the plaque, count along the number of letters corresponding to the secret code. Now assign A to that letter, to the next unique letter assign B and so on. Using this code you can now decrypt:

J F N G G D X L
