Geocache Description:


I came across a cipher that I couldn't solve so I thought I would go to the source for some help.





Mr. Edalpoe,

I recently read of your fascination with ciphers
and your ability to break them. I was hoping
that you could provide information to break the
following code that I came upon.

Sincerely,
Schulesjoe

I kind of doubt that this guy is going to respond. Anyone else want to take a crack at it?
