This cache has been archived.

MaxGold : This area has changed a great deal. The large tree has been cut up and hauled away and it is not longer the jungle it was. So I am archiving.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a short walk through some ice plants.

This place has been the site of a couple of former caches like "The NOT-SO-Great Oxnard Forrest Cache". It's too cool a place not to have a cache. However GPS coverage is bad. I got 15ft accuracy after averaging about 150 hits. You may want to solve the riddle to get an extra hint to help your chances.

1. Solve the riddle below
2. Copy the text below (including the "begin" and "end" lines) to file called text.txt
3. Do a file save as to "text.uue" (Make sure to include the quotes)
4. Unzip with winzip (or other compression program) and extract the coordinates from the file using the solution of riddle (in all lower case) as the password
4b. Or you can use some hacking tool to try to break the encryption.

Riddle:
The beginning of eternity, The end of time and space, The beginning of every end, And the end of every place.

Another way to get the information. begin 666 Clue.zip M4$L#!!0``0`(`'@[A#9-G1L=<0```(T````(````0VQU92YT>'1L',L7I9<[ M&!%\!TAU^^33=E]L#VD;O'\!4TC##GO&TV>UB^E4@^WEX^`-M7I4FM(][ZM" MZ`9#R,]'Q6]CWW,@BI=]IU=)+0_()D/RHD:]>I_GKX7!0I;S#6&(-E7_#FX" MX1$'&OPHMHK'D'>G*2IX$U!+`0(4`!0``0`(`'@[A#9-G1L=<0```(T````( M``````````$`(`````````!#;'5E+G1X=%!+!08``````0`!`#8```"7```` "```` ` end

Parking is available across the street but I recommend you use the crosswalk at the light if you need to cross the street.

Good luck and have fun.
