i'm so confused.. i've tried to use Ubchi for the German note, and then using vodka as the keyword, then using the forwards option.. but nothing..
i've also tried the railfence cipher for the newest note, with 6 rails, 3 offset; 3 rails, six offset; and variations of 36, 18, and 9. nothing.. I'm so confused..

There's some base64 code at the end. It decodes to this:
| Quote: | From the explosion, rose an explosion of beauty. Trees surrounded by watered stones, to protect from the flying metal. In 1920, a new piece of history for the weathly was constructed. But be careful, our sponsor told us not to get their package mixed up with something called a geocache. I guess they had a big problem before during delieveries, and things got mixed up. The package will be there at their designated time

Did she intercept this from the hog kings?
The problem with these jumble ciphers (columnar transposition, ubchi, skip, railfence) is that they need the exact same spacing preserved, and myspace messes that up. Someone should let E know this. |

Ok, preserving the original spacing in the blog (not the quote on this thread) and adding an extra space at the beginning of the last line:

Use railfence with 6 rails, 3 offset, you get:
| Quote: | Yea yea i know i didn't update at all today.
I slept in as much as you call sleeping in the woods sleeping in.
I walked back into the city.
I think I have a clue, and I figured I need to be in
the city. I don't know though, what do you guys think? I have no clue where it could be. I'm not...that smart. I can't figure it out numbers turn into more numbers...more numbers.... |
I think she's talking about the base 64 code I posted above, which was in her blog at the end. This is most likely the new hiding place of the treasure/secret/paperwork. |

From the ashes of the catastrophic Halifax Explosion, which shattered the City’s North End on 6 December 1917, rose the Hydrostone District, a splendid example of an English-style garden suburb. Completed in 1920, this well-preserved neighbourhood was designed according to the most-up-to-date yet practical principles of town planning. The buildings, all variations on the same architectural theme and all constructed with “Hydro-Stone” concrete blocks, are aesthetically arranged along each side of wide treed courts. The houses and landscape contribute to a remarkable sense of time and place. The neighbourhood is an important achievement by the influential town planner Thomas Adams

Well, I doubt she transcribed all of those 15+ thousand characters of "MzAg and MzEg" from a bunch of papers, so she must have gotten it from a digital source in his computer. |

Well, since they referenced a geocache (they must have paid attention to the great geocache incident during Op ), I looked up known Geocache's in Nova Scotia.

Perhaps she also took computer disks...or had the time to copy some of his computer files? |

This is the closest that I could find on that website. And its a geodash, not a geocache (whatever that means).
