Geocache Description:

A slightly cryptic cache that brings you through some land re-forested in 1970

Naming a cache with a "one" in it's title creates the pressure to ensure there is eventually a two and so on. I hope to make a few more in this vein, getting successively harder... But if the number disappears, you'll know why.

!! The coordinates are not the coords of the cache !! (But they are in the same neighbourhood)

For the real coordinates you must 'decrypt' the challenging, cryptic passage below.

The cache is a black container about the size of a roll of toilet paper, with a snap-on lid. The contents include various small items, including erasers, a miniature lock, some Canadian tire money, etc...A log book and pencil are included - please log your visit.

THE PASSAGE:
------------

First one unequal reading, that's your first index vector
Each position on initial numbers
Take the highest reading excluding exponents
One number ends. zoom each reading
On next indication, new entry (or next entry)
Select each vector entered.

Never take your first indicated vectors early
Preliminary order is not true
Every integer gets higher then
Finally it veers east seemingly in xrays
Try with one single inverted xray

Happy Hunting.

Enigma code it isn't, but maybe a bit challenging still depending on your perspective.
