This is our first cache It has a first to find certifcate, some assorted goodies it has a writing stick in it.Area is full of garbage. Might want to bring garbage bags to clean up. THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. You have to decode this with a cipher The code is simliar to the one here on geocaching but the bottom is numbers instead of letters. The cipher is named in the hint.Replace the letters with numbers Ie. A is really 9 (hint that is in the code) The code is N fa fa aeh W jac jdcgh.

VICTORY IS MINE! Had left this cache for quite some time after having issues with the code to decipher. In the end, I was deciphering it correctly... only not, if you know what I mean. Well... you'll know what I mean plenty enough if you find yourself in the same boat . In either case, after a hint as to how I was deciphering it incorrectly, I quickly got it right and off I went.
Spent about a good 30-40 minutes wandering around in that bushy little area looking for the cache. For the record... leaves in fall? Yeah, that adds like... at least one extra star to the difficulty level . So after quite a lot of time searching everywhere I could possibly think of, I caught a quick glimpse of what might be cache, and correct I was. In I went, and the cache was in hand. Decided to drop the Lion King TB here, since it nicely fit, and is close to a major road, so might get some good traffic.

Didn't use the CITO bag that someone left in the cache (mainly because I didn't have a replacement to refill it with), but there was plenty of Walmart bags around, so I did me some CITO work before I left. Mainly filled a few bags with the random styrofoam that was lying around, and other random items kicking around. Cripes, we should have a CITO event there. I hauled away several Walmart bags of crap, and barely put a dent in anything. There were however several notable things I CITO'd (also in attached picture). Namely, an empty Genesis box for "Streets of Rage" and a cassette tape by "The Dave and Spike Show", assumingly either a radio thing or comedy troupe or something. Eh, if I get bored sometime I'll google it. In either case... another DNF has been found.

EDIT: MAN, even google can't find anything on this "Dave and Spike show". You've GOT to be obscure if you can't be found online

Took: Several bags of garbage to CITO from the area
Left: Logbook entry, Lion King TB, and chainmail ball

Well, this'll teach me to forget to mark down which are puzzle caches and which are traditionals. Went here with my fiancee and best friend in a last random cache attempt on the way home. Not knowing that this was a puzzle, we walked through the parking lot for about 20 seconds before saying 'screw it' and leaving. So yes... since I don't have a printer, I definitely need to note in the cache name on the GPS that it's a puzzle (a P before the GC#### part or something). In fact... the fact that this is the third or fourth puzzle cache I've screwed up due to not having a printer, I think this particular cache has officially prompted me to change the method by which I rename caches before uploading to the GPS (as of now it was just the GC#### number, followed by +++, or a plus for each "size" of the cache... one for micro, two for small, etc). I'll just start these guys off with a "P" .
