Crossword Cipher #2 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Yofa: Geocaching is no longer allowed in the Brushy Peak Regional Preserve. I though I had archived all of my caches within that boundary, but was reminded that there was (this) one more, when TeamOttlet recently found it. So archiving now.

I always post a solution when archiving a puzzle cache. The runic symbols are from the series of Ultima computer games, starting way back in the early 1980s. What makes the crossword challenging are the double-letter symbols.
