Description
A short walk, with 2 WP's to visit before you arrive at GZ....
At the posted co-ords, which is an information maker with 5 information panels/plaques describing things you need to know about the area........answer these question to find WP2:
A = The last number in the 6 digit phone number on the "Green" panel/plaque
B = Number of words on the "Dog" panel/plaque
C = Number of ecidnas on the "Green" panel/plaque
D = Number of letters in the last word of the "Cyclists" panel/plaque....-1
E = Number of human figures on the "Dog" panel/plaque
F = Total number of bolts/rivets affixing both the "Dog" and "Cyclists" panels/plaques to the post.
WP2 can now be calcualted as:
S35 23.ABC E149 07.DEF
At WP2, using the big bright (with black writing) 4 digit number as WXYZ, the cache GZ can be calculated as:
S35 23.Y (W+X+Y+Z) ([W*Y]-1)
E 149 07. (Y*Y) Z (W+Y)
All should be good, and hopefully you find the cache...which is a large, but empty (except for the log book and a few trinkets) power tool case.
Extra congratulations if you know the name of the homestead/farm building that use to stand in the general area east of WP2 (which is towards GZ).
Enjoy your walk in the area.......

Thanks,
Grabbed the required info at WPs 1 and 2, and with GZ calculated it was a quick walk to GZ - and bit of down and under - and the cache was in hand ! Nice. Container is a bit wet but all good for now. Not sure about the old beer can in the cache - although I'm sure the CO has had a few of these over the years !
TFTC !!
Cache on...
So that's how one cleans out ones shed!
A nice quick find, a *FTF* at 1634hrs. That was ok. Might try another one.
Thanks Sdl for the cache. Yes, I like a good multi too, but no extra points for me today. You will have to educate me.
