Involves visting 6 different letterboxes around Waikanae to make up the cache's co-ordinates...or does it?
The cache's actual location is broken up into 6 parts.
The first two digits of the southern co-ordinate are the digits on Letterbox One.
The next two digits on the southern co-ordinate are the two digits on Letterbox Two.
Letterbox Three has a digit missing. Put a 1 in front of the two digits to complete the final part of the southern co-ordinate.
Letterbox Four also has a digit missing. Put a 1 in front of the two digits to make up the first three digit's of the cache's eastern co-ordinate.
Letterbox Five also has a digit missing. Put a 0 in front of the single digit to make up the middle two digits of the cache's eastern co-ordinate.
Letterbox Six also has a digit missing. Put a 1 at the end of the two digits to complete the cache's eastern co-ordinate.
Check the additional WP's below for the locations and descriptions of the letterboxes...you could tackle this puzzle by two ways...either the hard way of physically visiting the WP's listed, or using that new technology on the internet, which is just as good. But, oh, I forget what it's called...something 'View'?
I would recommend making sure you have the correct co-ordinates by check them here.
The cache is around the hills behind Waikanae, so don't think you have done it wrong. It is a 5-10 minute walk along a moderate track, and you WILL have to walk through a small stream on the way to the cache, BUT ONLY ONCE. You cannot find the cache by staying on the track.
The cache is a 1.15l clear, 4-side snaplock container that is clearly marked.
Please help maintain this cache as I am no longer around to maintain this and let me know if any clues need changing.

Logging Etiquette:
As a geocache owner I have put a great deal of thought and effort in placing this cache. As a geocache finder, you have made an effort to join in with geocaching, you have made an effort to go out of your way to find the cache, so please make an effort into logging your find. Cache owners do not welcome single words, acronyms, or "copy and paste" logs as they don't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
