The Shoham Forest Park, east of the town of Shoham, has been planted and developed by the JNF (KKL) since 1987. Today it offers a nice recreation area, home to several archeological sites, a number of memorials, a lookout and three picnic spots. Let this cache lead you through two spots of this park and take your time to explore the rest of it.
The coordinates above lead to the lookout spot and memorial for Guy Sudai on top of "Giv'at HaSaflulim." There you will need to solve four questions in order to have the full coordinates for the cache spot:
1. The memorial indicates both the date of birth and the date of death of Guy. a = Guy's age when he died.
2. Shoham is the Hebrew name for the Onyx, one of the gems in the Ephod (Hebrew: Hoshen) worn by the Great Priest in the Holy Temple. b = The number of gems which used to be in the Ephod (including the Shoham).
* This information cannot be found in the park.
3. A road separates the Shoham Forest Park from the town to the west. c = The road number.
4. Another road marks the eastern border of the forest. d = The road number.
************ Final coordinates: *************
N 31* 59.(c+203) E 034* 57.(a+13)(b/d)
You can check your answers for this puzzle here: http://www.geochecker.com/index.php?code=be5794e8abcc5ea64db310d4841a72d0&action=check&wp=474331384d5a50&name=5468652047656d
Both the lookout and the cache site are within a short walking distance from a parking lot.
IMPORTANT: When you get to the final coordinates, reduce about 3 meters from the altitude reading, and still it's not directly reachable.
The cache is a square, black plastic box and normally contains a log sheet and a few trinkets. Please bring a pen with you.
A schematic map of the park can be found here (Hebrew, PDF): https://www.kkl.org.il/travel/files/Travel_And_Leisure/Shoam_Map_24x24cm_001.pdf
A small note on cache maintenance: Cache-angels I and S from nearby Shoham frequently visit the cache to make sure it's safe and intact. Lots of thanks go to them.
