GAG12 - By By Humpty Dumpty Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

NeoDorset: Dropped by to check on the cache today and pick up the TB (expecting to be in a position to help it with its goal soon), but on the way I noticed that the reconstruction of the area around the posted coordinates has resulted in removal of the requisite information. Not knowing when, if, where, or in what form that information might be restored (doesn't look like there will be anywhere to park nearby when the construction is finished), I decided to archive this one. It was fun while it lasted!

Geocache Description:

This cache is placed for GAG12 - Go and Get Em12. Do not go in search of the cache prior to 6:00 p.m. on 27 June 2008 – any logs posted before that time will be deleted, and the cache may not even be in place until the appointed time.

This is a simple offset with a single projection to the cache, and also a subtle tribute to a certain local historical hero. At the posted coordinates you will find a pole with signs attached to it. There is a four-digit number on a green sign -– divide this number by 10 and multiply the result by 2 to determine the distance to the cache in metres. On the same pole is a different type of sign with a four-digit number on it – disregard the first digit of this number, call the second digit X, multiply the third and fourth digits and call the result Y, and add the third and fourth digits and call the result Z. The bearing to the cache is XYZ degrees True.

DO NOT proceed directly to the cache from the posted coordinates - there is no need to cross private property to find the cache. Access is available some distance to the southeast, but be warned that parking is limited to non-existent once you leave a paved road. Recommended parking is on a paved sideroad approximately 275 m from the cache on a bearing of 115 degrees True, and there is even a small playground there for the young ones. Note that there should be no need to change your elevation to find and retrieve the container once you reach the cache location.
