Cryptic Crawlers

Here is the story behind your mission.... if you choose to accept it! An accomplished Scientist has been working on developing some new cocktail recipes. He has stumbled upon something that when mixed together will revolutionize the entire entertainment sector. He knows that he is being watched closely and in order to protect his work, he has hidden the recipe cryptically somewhere in the CBD. The competition has become aware of his work; he knows he is being followed and now fears for his safety. He has heard of your group and how you are recognized for your puzzle-solving abilities. He has asked you to work for him, he needs to give you instructions in various codes and puzzles so that, should the information fall into the wrong hands, it will not be understood. You will need to follow his instructions, find out where you need to go, gather all the data you need, and present the recipe to his client before it falls into the hands of the competitors.
