Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed for the
GAG17 event
which begins at 6:00 PM on May 4th, 2012.

Anyone searching for the cache before then will be hunted down by Imperial Storm Troopers and executed for being Rebel slime!!



While out trying to deliver the secret plans for the new Ottawa Geocaching head quarters to the geomob at Al's, R2 got startled by some imperial muggles and took refuge in a near-by cave.



He sent out his co-ordinates to his fellow astromec droids before he entered his hide. Just in case any of them were captured, tortured and their memory banks scanned, he gave each of them only part of his location. It was encrypted in a way that even the droid didn't know what the message said.

Here is each droid's name and message , can you use the force to decipher R2's location and go rescue him?

Pictures of the cache container and guardian are fine (encouraged actually), not of the hide please.

I'll say the cache is not winter friendly but should be findable most of the time.

NOTE: I dropped of some Romulan Rebel Ale for the FTF'rs. Luckily I got it from Hoth so I grabbed some ice to hopefully keep it cool until tonight. PLS CITO out any garbage. Enjoy!
