Abraham Simpson belonged to the Hell Fish squad during WWII. During his tour the squad uncovered a cache of stolen artwork hidden by the Germans. This multicache at the Kishwaukee Gorge may lead you to some of their treasure....or maybe these are just some trinkets they found and the real treasure is somewhere else?! Who knows with Grandpa Simpson. One thing is for sure, the final cache is in a green ammo box and it has a log book with a PURPLE cover.

There are 4 stages before the final cache. The terrain gets progressively worse and it's not for the weak footed. The co-ords above lead to the 1st cache. Each cache contains the co-ords for the next cache and also PART of the final cache. The Hell Fish squad has made it harder though. The parts of the final cache co-ords are in secret code!!!! This was done to prevent German soldiers (and muggles) from recovering the treasure. They even hid the final in a spot suitable for a machine gun emplacement!
Use this to decipher it....
H=1 E=2 L=3 L=3 F=4 I=5 S=6 H=1 G=7 O=8 A=9 L=3 !=0

Bring some paper and pencil to do your code work and to copy the co-ords.
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE CO-ORD SHEETS FROM THE CACHES!!!!!
Don't forget to sign the log book! Happy hunting!

FTF Team Putz found all 5 today. Great Cache. Quite a work out. 2nd coords with our E-Trex Legend were off about 50 ft. west, but the rest were right on.
