Geocache Description:


The coordinates listed above are bogus. They only give the general area of the cache. This cache contains a variety of significant challenges... thus the high difficulty rating. It is for daylight hours only… as dictated by park rules. All stages are within the bounds of a park or on public land. Don’t stray onto private property.

The first challenge will get you on your way. It involves code breaking. I have provided two independent puzzles for this first stage. Both puzzles will eventually yield the same location… so if you find one too difficult, try the other:

Puzzle 1: 25EE EQ.OYO 2IQ TI.EYE

Puzzle 2: Clues to puzzle 2 are hidden in a couple of my favorite caches. The clues are again in the form of a code, but one that is much simpler to crack than the code shown in puzzle 1.

Stage 5: This stage is located near street parking. To make the trip from stage 4 to stage 5 easier, use the bogus coordinates listed above as a waypoint.

Stage 6 - The Final Stage: The cache is a standard ammo can. It is hidden about 20ft from the trail… behind a fallen tree.

Happy Hunting
