Geocache Description:

A language puzzle cache in Castro Valley, CA

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!!!!



Decipher the alphabet to get the coordinates for the cache. This alphabet, Phonogic, is not a letter-for-letter translation. It is a phonetic representation of sounds of English and other languages. It even has letters to represent the throaty consonants of Arabic, Gaelic and German, as well as "pure" vowels not heard in American English. Cache contents at placement include: log in ziploc, pen, five varieties of my signature frog, a sparkly lizard, assorted stuff and a special coin for the FTF! Driving there, you want to stop just before you reach the guard rail and the bike route sign. This is best approached on foot or bike though. There are no 'No Parking' signs right where you need to be. See photo for the puzzle itself! Good luck and Happy Caching!
