Geocache Description:

A language puzzle cache in Castro Valley CA

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



Original Description:

You must decipher the alphabet, Aceri Halit, in order to find this cache. For this alphabet, I have decided to use my own "expanded" from to show all vowels in words instead of as simple diacritic marks. Makes it easier to read this way. Rather ornate, complex looking alphabet, needed to open it up a bit. I have always enjoyed learning new ways to communicate, that's why I took Russian for three years and am trying to improve my rudimentary Spanish abilities.

Park at the end of Jensen and hike down the terraces. When you see an abandoned cow trough, you will be getting close.

Update (8/22/23): Access from Jensen Rd. has become quite difficult but is still possible. Access is easier from the north (via a trail head between two houses) or from the east parking on Ridgewood Drive (via concrete culverts).
After solving the puzzle and verifying then subtract 0.015 from the longitude since the solved coordinates are 72 feet off.

See photo for what you must decipher.

Good luck and Happy Caching!
