With laptops, paper, and pens in hand it looked more like a university setting than a geocaching event. On October 15th geocachers gathered at Bull Run Regional Library and sat at the ready to learn the basics of geocaching puzzle solving. Since 2011 Two000miler has held 8 puzzle caching workshops throughout the Northern Virginia area. His class today touched on substitution, playfair, bacon, vigenère, and other cyphers as well as understanding where a puzzle creator can hide clues on a cache page. His most important advice he gives on solving puzzles is “Read the entire cache page, write down what you know, and look for patterns.”
Oh man wish I knew this was going on or if geocaching workshops existed I would have liked to have attended
