Geocache Description:

Spaceman Spiff is chasing the green Martian Zorg all across the galaxy (and locally, the Wasatch Front).


 

After calling a temporary truce with Spaceman SpiffZorg the Martian went home. After cleaning himself up, he looked inside his fridge for some grub. ZOUNDS! He found nothing beyond some blue cheese (...wait, no, the mold-encrusted label actually said "Mozzarella Cheese") and some questionable casserole leftovers. He decided to pay a local grocery store a visit.

A friend suggested the local store nearby, known for its good prices & bulk items, which he called "a winning company," with a smug smile on his face, as if proud of just making some witty earth pun...Zorg however was not amused. He simply needed food, and if that's where food was, then he was there! After stocking up, he headed back to his ship, and loaded up his goods. Before getting in to fly off, he saw Spaceman Spiff. He ducked away, and found some nearby shelter.

Spaceman Spiff parked his vehicle right next to Zorg's, before doing a double-take and drawing his raygun, searching furiously for his nemesis...but despite Spaceman Spiff's best efforts, he could not find him. He feigned leaving, but is lying in wait, anticipating Zorg's attempt to flee, and biding his time until he does. Zorg meanwhile sent out an encoded transmission before abandoning ship to his geocaching friends, in hopes that someone might answer his call. If you can decode his message, perhaps you can find him after all, and provide some much-needed aid to our green friend.

Can you reach Zorg before Spaceman Spiff does? Zorg hopes so...otherwise all you may find is a zapped pile of alien residue, and some groceries that have gone bad (unless Spaceman Spiff makes off with those too, of course); best of luck!
