A special valentines day cache for my wonderful wife 
The
starting coordinates are 143:
S 36° 55.143
E 174° 54.143
Just incase you are not familiar with the definition of 143... here
are some references:
From Wikipedia:
In text messaging slang, 143 means "I love you," 1 for the one
letter in "I", 4 for the four letters in "love," and 3 for the
three letters in "you".
From the Urban dictionary:
A numerical representation of the expression 'I love you' where
each of the three numbers represents the amount of letters in each
of the words.
Used by couples with pagers as a code to constantly remind one
another that they still are affectionate. (More commonly used
before the wide spread availability of text-messaging cell
phones)
" My girl sent 143 to my beeper a thousand times yesterday - she
really loves me."
This is a very easy cache located in a quiet area bordering a golf
course.
Cache contents when placed:
> Various pin badges
> Red fridge magnets
> Glow-in-the-dark stars
> and of course lots of love inside 
Feel free to leave a note in the log book about something or
someone that makes your day special.
Follow the clues in final waypoint listed below to find the final
cache.

UPDATE:
We have replaced this cache with an extra WP to allow
you to explore more of this area. The previously final location is
now WP2.

I was a bit apprehensive about this one, especially after reading the logs and, coupled with the fact that I had DNF'd the last 2 WackyB multis (I couldn't find WP1 of either of them!), I expected this to be a mission. In fact it was very straightforward. Yes, it took while at WP2, but after that it was on to an easy final and well hidden cache. Thanks WackyB, I always enjoy your caches, even if I cant always find them!!

Wow! We went around in circles on this one and we must say - very clever disguise!

Well, reading the blurb, it says 'this is a very easy cache located...etc.' The 3 1/2 star difficulty blows this out of the water and finding the first way point was a real trial for me. A chance meeting with Trout-fly gave me an idea so one evening after work, I went out and very quickly located what I had to find. It sat there waiting for the weekend and I made it, finally, at lunch time today.
WP1 was easily the trickiest cache I have come across so far in my short 6-7 week caching career. I had misunderstood the difference between the clue, WP1 and WP2 with the latter being the final. I had been looking for a medium sized sistema container at WP1 which I had assumed was the final. Guess it shows my newbie status eh?
Thanks for the cache though. At last my nemesis has been conquered.
