Recently, we have been listening to the 'Podcacher' pod cast as we travel from one cache to another. This pod cast deals with all aspects of geocaching, and the producers (Sonny and Sandy from San Diego, CA) work hard to make it both informative and fun to listen too. We felt the need to recognize this effort with a tribute cache. Knowing that Sonny finds Light Post Caches (LPCs) to be the highest form of the caching art, we set off to place a cache of this type. However, in Maine and New Hampshire light posts are scarce, and all the good ones already have caches.
What could we do in this case? Well, we immediately fell back into our revolting habit of creating a cryptogram based puzzle cache. In this case, the cryptogram is a 'Phillips Cipher' which one of us (MSCREP) finds quite laborious to solve (See www.cryptogram.org for the details of this cipher). Hence this truly is an LPC (Laborious Phillips Cipher) cache!
The enciphered cache location is:
RLGUD PXDIH AYION PXSSN LKULL RYXDX QUDCG QXFOY
IUXQX DDQEP NWEXI WSBAV UBPGX BRDKD UTDHG NDEDD
ROQCL FUYZF XEXMM QKPWS QKPBW CXPFD RADRF TITPD
QRQIR FADCY XRZPN PYWWP LHGRL YUIKR PICDN FHDD
As with all of our cipher caches, feel free to contact us for hints or help with the solution. We encourage you all to work in teams to decrypt this cipher and find the cache. However, while subcontracting as a method of cipher solution is in the great tradition of real world cryptanalysis (along with burglarizing embassies, stealing code books, and bribing cipher clerks), it should be used only in extremis.
Once again, thanks Sonny and Sandy for a lot of good info and fun listening!
