CAUTION!
It seems likely that this cache may have a "parasite!" Possibly a local muggle child who knows the code and is making a collection of geocoins and travelbugs. Please DO NOT leave any items here! Treat it as just another 'different' geocache.
It does the trick by working backwards. Usually you use the numbers to find the location; here we use the location to find the numbers.
It works like this: Location A is the Denmark Visitor's Centre on the corner of South Coastal Highway and Ocean Beach Road. Inside, to the left of the entrance, you will find this stout steel padlocked box attached to the wall.
To obtain the combination for the lock you need to go outside to Location B, the smaller information sign. (Note, since this cache was established the Shire has seen fit to instal another info sign. Check the photo to make sure you have the right one — it's the pole with just the 'i' symbol). Stand at the base of the sign and take an accurate reading. Like this:
S 35° 57.abc, E 117° 21.xyz
Discard the 'wobbly' Least Significant Digits ( c & z ) and the combination is a b x y. Rotate the wheels to line up these numbers, in sequence, with the name 'Master' on the padlock. Like this:
Master a b x y <
Pull down on the lock barrel and the hasp should release. If it doesn't you've got the wrong numbers, or the wrong order, or (more likely) they aren't lined up enough. Don't panic! And please don't try to force it. Just try again. Instructions on how to close the cache are inside it.
The Denmark Visitor Centre is open every day of the year (except Christmas Day) from 9 am to 5 pm. It is an interesting facility where you can find out all you need to know about Denmark, and check out local products and art works.
My special thanks to Justine Nagorski, the CEO of the Visitor Centre for permission to place this cache, and to Brian Humphries of Nullaki Laser Art for the excellent job of etching the geocaching logo.
