Geocache Description:

Hints at geocaching.com are "encrypted" with ROT13, where each letter is shifted 13 characters to hide the text. This is not encryption. This is obfuscation. Figuring out such hints is (as ROT13 is intended to be) trivial. There are other forms of encryption that are much harder to break, however...

Cache is not at the posted co-ordinates!

Cache is a 180mL Lock&Lock containing a log book and a pencil. It's small, but does have room for some goodies. Good luck!
