Geocache Description:

Yesterday I spent half an hour admiring the beaches of Hawaii. Next to Milolii Bay there is a particularly beautiful landscape, with palm trees, the ocean and the blue sky that give you the scent of Heaven. And a coast road where you can walk for hours...

Then I paid a short visit to Mont Blanc and, because the adrenaline was already flowing through my veins, I jumped directly on the small Island of Zhokhov. It was so cold there, and nobody around.


Did you ever consider paying a lot of money for an exciting trip around the Earth? It really makes no sense... just play Google Earth!

The cache is not at the given coordinates. Here's the game: use the street view function of Google Maps and locate the following pictures. For each picture you will have to perform a simple task in order to determine A, B, C, D, E and F.

Then go to
N 44° 28.(A+4)(B/10-1)(C+2)'
E 26° 05.(D/2-5)(E+2)(F+1)'
and search for the box.


1 - Catch exactly this image. As you enter the building, on the right window there is a three-digit number. A is the second digit.


2 - Turn around. B is the speed limit on this road.


3 - Again, turn around and you will see a number written in black. C is the first digit of that number.


4 - Look a bit to the right and check the greenish advertisement. They advise you to call a four-digit phone number for whatever reason. D is the sum of those four digits.


5 - A strange building, almost completely destroyed in December 1989. There are two hardly visible bulding numbers written on this side, on a small blue plate. E is the first of them.


6 - Continue along the street and check the GPL price. F is the first digit of that number.

All images were taken in December 2018. Google Street View may update in time but don't worry: you can still do it!
