Enjoy the view!

At the posted coordinates, look for a small plaque near the base of the flagpole at the top of the sledding hill. The first line of the plaque has a 3-word phrase in quotes. Use the following to decrypt the coordinates for stage 2:

Use the 3-word phrase to determine U, V, W, X, Y, and Z:

U=letter #9,

V=letter #8

W=letter #16

X=letter #2

Y=letter #12, and

Z=letter #8

Once you have U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, use the decryption key to get the coordinates:

Decryption key:

A=2	B=1	C=8	D=3	E=6

I was actually more interested in the TerraCache here, but this was fun, too.
