Description
J & J's ninetieth geocache hide. A quick multicache with some spectacular views.
The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but you will need to visit this location to find the magic numbers.
At the listed coordinates, check out the image of the car travelling down the hypotenuse. The car is about to drive over a code containing three numerals.
For the purpose of finding the cache, let's call the three numerals, in the order they appear, as XYZ
Once you have the numbers X Y and Z, you can calculate the values for A through to H by using the formulas below.
A = X - Y
B = Z - Y
C = X + Z
D = X + Y + Z
E = X - Y - Z
F = X + X - Z
G = X + X - Y - Z
H = X - Z - Z
The cache can then be found at:
S35° 2A.BCD'
E138° 2E.FGH'
Your new coordinates will take you a bit further down the hill, then up a different hill, where you will be looking for a micro sized cache container.
It contains a log scroll only, so you will need to supply your own pen.
Happy hunting!
Disclaimer: No person by the name of Dale was 'interfered' with in the hiding of this geocache.

The coords were quickly found and a nice, clean, dry cache as well
Many thanks for the hide J_&_J
Lovely drive between points
Cheers again
Visited WP1, admired the views and found the required numbers. Then headed off to GZ which at first I thought I had got wrong but then I saw the item that matched the hint. And I found the cache in the first place I looked!

Thanks for this nice little multi J_&_J we enjoyed our drive through this part of SA.
The formula has been reworked to give the new hiding location.
I will try to get back next week to move this cache elsewhere.
