When
trading items please consider trading up or trading even and
leaving items that you would want to find. Trackables (geocoins and
travel bugs) are not tradeable items. Please feel free to take them
without making a trade, but please leave a note in your log and do
log them online.
The given coordinates will
take you to the start of the plank you need to walk. The planks are
used frequently by local fishers, so you may see some fishing going
on or if into fishing, take your own rod.
The cache itself is located relatively
close, so no need to drive off into sunset. That said, if you plan
on walking to the cache itself please keep in mind you have to
cross two busy four lane roads. One has a controlled intersection,
but the one at the start of your walk does not. You do need to
cross this road to get to the path on the bridge. Maybe not
something to do with kids.
Okay on to the cache. You need to solve S32 02.AAA and
E115 45.BBB. The following clues will allow you to calculate
AAA and BBB.
What you need to do is find the numerals on the nominated
pillars, convert those numerals to our counting system and then add
them up. Your solution will give you AAA and BBB.
Here we go:
The value of AAA is equal to:
AAA = CDLXXXVII + Pillar #7 + Pillar #14
The value of BBB is equal to:
BBB = CCVI + Pillar #4 + Pillar #12
Points to note:
- The pillars are counted from the bank end of the walking plank
and therefore Pillar #1 is the first pillar on the eastern side. It
has XXXIV stamped in it.
- Each required pillar has a roman numeral stamped into it.
- To illustrate the maths, CCC = 99 = XXXIII + XXXIII +
XXXIII
- You need to count the pillars yourself and the numerals stamped
into them are NOT sequential.
