FCRRRYB: IMOn A Boat! HINTS
Does this week's Mystery Monday puzzle have you rowing in circles? Some hints will you give you a star to navigate by!
I will give you five hints, each getting progressively more revealing, but they will be encoded in ROT13, just like the hints on geocaching pages. You can copy and paste the hints here to decode them. HINT 5 will be nuclear level, so only look at it as a last resort!
HINT 1: Lbh'yy arrq n gbby.
HINT 2: Jung xvaq bs vasbezngvba vf nffbpvngrq jvgu fuvcf?
HINT 3: Gur gvgyr vf abg n glcb.

HINT 5: Fuvc VZB'f fgneg jvgu avar, ohg gur pbbeqf qb abg. Vf gurer n uvag naljurer nobhg jung gb qb jvgu gung avar?
Good luck! Answers tomorrow!

FC1NDNS Arrows of the Comanche
I just finished reading Lonesome Dove, (as all American men of a certain age are required to do by law), and spent some time researching the area where I placed today's cache, looking for locations and the real world people mentioned in the book. Out of that came the idea for this puzzle. (None of that will actually help you solve this, what you need is on the cache page, not in this text.)

Resource: Follow The Arrow
For this week's Resource Friday I featuring a website that isn't strictly for puzzle solving but for geocaching in general: Follow The Arrow. Follow The Arrow was created primarily for UK geocachers, but contains a wealth of information about GPS use, alterations that can be made to your browser to make viewing cache pages more information rich, and HTML instructions for enhancing your own cache page listings.

Resource: DCode
For this weekend's resource I wanted to focus on DCode, the tool I mentioned Wednesday in the answer for this week's puzzle. DCode is a French website, but has an English translation available. It features over 400 ciphers and other tools that puzzle solvers might find useful. One of the most useful features it has is that for each cipher it contains a description of how to recognize the code. As always, I recommend at least reading the list of code names so that you familiarize yourself with the names of ciphers. Knowing cipher names helps you recognize them in hints on cache pages.
