OK all you history buffs and treasure hunters, this one’s for you! Try this one on a day when you have a little extra time to leisurely geocache. To find the hidden treasure, you will have to first do your homework. The treasure consists of internationally-themed toys and currency. Let’s try to get as wide a variety of currency together as we can! Answer the following questions:
Who was one of the most notorious traitors to America during the Revolutionary War?
What code did he use to pass messages to the British?
How is it used?
In what year was Benjamin Franklin born? __ A __ B __ C __ D
What year did Benjamin Franklin die? __ E __ F __ G __ H
With this knowledge, the key below, and some scrap paper, you are armed for the hunt. The treasure map should be clear to you once you arrive at the parking coords listed above. YOU MUST BE AT THE ABOVE COORDS BEFORE YOU CAN SOLVE THIS CIPHER. TAKE THE KEY, AND THE STAGE ONE HINT BELOW. This requires great stealth, as many muggles are around. There is a nearby place to sit and review the contents of the cache. Please take of picture with the enclosed camera! Cache hidden with permission.
