This cache has been archived.

status quo: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is a multi cache which combines history and a stunning view.

At the above coordinates find the following info:
A = Last number of Abel's birth year.
B = How many letters in Abel's second name.
C = Third number in the year he discovered NZ.
D = How old was he when he died.
E = How many sailors did he attempt to hang. (By mistake)

The final cache is at:
S 40 C(B+1).E(A+C)(C+1) E 172 (D-3).(D+1)(A+C+E)

You will have a short drive to the final cache. But take in the view first.
