Geocache Description:

I don't think Ghostbusters answer their phone anymore.

This is an easy puzzle, with the idea that many should be able to solve it without too much difficulty. After attending some puzzle soving sessions in Auckland, I learnt more of the devious ways to hide the info and thus solve some gnarly puzzles. So to encourage more puzzle solving and caches in the area, I thought of this one.


In New Zealand, we are blessed to have many Emergency Service teams available to us, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And one thing most of us don't realise is that many of these people are volunteers and in New Zealand, most volunteers are unpaid. They often work a 'normal' paid job, respond when there is an emergency and do it with pride to serve their community.  For some, they are paid Policemen, Firefighters or Ambulance Paramedics and when they finish for the day, they put their volunteer hats on.

There are the Fire Fghters:


And ambulance paramedics and first repsonders:



The Coastguard:


Search and rescue and many, many more


Do not attempt to find the puzzle without first using the Geochecker as there is a twist to the answer. Extra hints are in the Geochecker. Answer is in the format of S35 43.XXX E174 19.XXX
