Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve a puzzle to find the actual coordinates.


When I was a child, my Dad taught my siblings and me a code that we could use without needing to have the encryption sheet with us. It is easy to remember, so all we needed was a piece of paper and a pencil and we could write down the code, and then encrypt or decrypt a message. The code depended on a tic tac toe grid and an X. Decode the secret message that follows to locate the cache.



The cache is a Rubbermaid container in Chickies Rock County Park. Young children should be watched carefully, because there are drop offs along the trail. Park hours are dawn to dusk. Wear orange during hunting season. Parking coordinates are given below.
