Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Do not go to the posted location unless you like Civil War Memorials. However, the cache is located within 0.5 miles of the posted location. The cryptogram below will provide you with the actual cache coordinates.

Recently, Hipointer and Capiti (H&C) placed a cache (Tigquilt Tribute Cache (TTC)) to honor Tiquilt's 1000th cache find. This selfless act would normally be worthy of note all by itself. However, H&C have recently passed a milestone of their own. Therefore, in the spirit of the TTC, we have placed this cache to say both "TFTTTC!" and to note H&C's 1800th find. The cache coordinates are contained in the following cryptogram:

VCUHKKS OAVEVTP ECMWSAF ERRBKTP RAAOAKP
VIRFHPA ANTVTPO BAEDMKM XXIVDPD VLTEXQO
AESTAOQ IEAUTIK ICVUZED RVXTSDK REUADFK
RHDTRHT RCKNT

The cache container itself is small and contains only the log book. Bring a pencil or pen.

Feel free to send me E-mails with questions concerning this cryptogram. I encourage you all to work in teams to solve it.

Finally, I hope this cache shows the wisdom of the old Klingon proverb which notes that, "A tribute cache is a dish best served cold."
