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.

Family and I started this on Sunday. We found the "original" final and spend ages looking for the next WP clue. Found it eventually but GPS had run out of power. Headed back this afternoon on the way home from work to sign the log. TFTC
