Approved and waiting for visitors: Lost in Translation (GCYR76)

I've included better than average prizes for FTF and STF as an incentive for solving this one.

Good luck!

P.S. This one can be considered payback for some of those evil hides at the Challenge this weekend!

Thanks for teasing me about this at the GGA Event.. but seeing as it's Latin, I'm going to let some other book nerd figure it out. Although I've got a few years under my belt from way-back-when, I'm not going to relive those nightmares for a cache. Laughing

Can't help it.

I was feeling a little devilish... Evil King
*especially* after the event and those evil hides. The F series in particular comes to mind. Mad Flaming Mad cursing

With 6 years of Latin under my belt (a lifetime ago), I was able to semi-decipher the 1st paragraph. Ow, my head hurts now. I'm going to keep plugging away at it though.

Hint: You'll need to know more than Latin to decrypt the second paragraph, though it'll come in handy later... Up To No Good

If I work this, the FTF prize better be that Garmin 60CSx I want! Laughing

When I posted this cache, I said "better than average" FTF & STF prizes. I didn't say OUTSTANDING prizes. If I could afford prizes like a 60CSx I think my last name should be Gates, Trump, etc.

Hopefully the prizes will seem worth at least a little of the effort to get them.

I received a message that indicates someone is on the right track to figuring out the puzzle. I shouldn't be surprised that someone in our group spotted an item on the cache page which would lead them to the solution.

Guess we'll see this weekend if they figure it out.

Good luck.

Well, it took almost a month, but the FTF prize has been claimed. Congratulations to Dacian Wolf for breaking the code. I took the liberty of posting one of his pics at the cache site to the page.
