Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache, the listed coordinates are near are a place to park, do not look for the cache there.

This is a single-stage puzzle cache with a series of eight ciphers for you to solve. The easiest one is listed first and they get progressively harder. You will need to solve them all to find the cache. By the time you are done you will have passed the Crypto 101 course.

There is a USA geocoin for the first finders prize which the FTF can keep. There is also a special silver FTF prize which belongs to NFA and it is his wish that it be placed in new caches for a FTF prize.
