A pain in the.... Morse, of course! (Whangarei) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

SaltyCacheNutZ: I don't do the rounds very often here anymore; just not as enjoyable without my geodog [:(]
so archiving to make way for other cachers/caches... hopefully there will be a new footbridge nearby soon [;)]

Geocache Description:

Coords given are for a carpark with cafes and toilets nearby. A flat easy stroll. but not sure if wide enough for a wheelchair?... should be an easy find once you have deciphered the puzzle.

I am still quite the "neo-cacher" and am using a very vintage GPS. Recently, I spied a cacher who was so quick & confident with their flash unit that I could not even catch up with them before they had found and opened the cache! That, and some other quirkiness about the use of GPS I have observed over the years is what has inspired me to create this, my very 1st puzzley-type cache. Really, I just felt like being a pain...

I have never made a puzzle before, so I'm sure you will be able to see through it's thin Veneer quite easily; Cache is your key.

Step One: Decipher

Step Two: Great! you've deciphered the code? Now you need to re-code it again. Yep, what a pain in the... Morse!

Step Three: If you've humoured me this far... Seek counselling!! or finish it and find the cache. I've left a certificate & a Cheeky Monkey for the FTF

**16/01/10 I have not made time to re-figure the puzzle; Solve it & go to the original GZ and take 20 paces on a magnetic heading of 60 degrees. I'm sure you'll find it if you hang around and think about it a little bit
