Geocache Description:

Kakepuku Leg Burner



The cache is NOT at the listed coords.

Our 200th cache placement, well listed one anyway, there are a few more already out there waiting to be listed...


A bit of a leg workout field puzzle that requires a bit of counting along the way.
The cache can be found at:

S38° 04.AAA


E175° 15.BBB


Where AAA = the South digit found in the log by Geckoh in GC3CR3W. PLUS the number of risers on the stairs between Start#2 WP (S38° 03.871,E175° 15.245) and Stop#2 WP (S38° 03.835,E175° 15.250) PLUS 310

and where BBB = the East digit found in the log by Geckoh in GC3CR3W. MINUS the number of risers on the stairs between Start#1 WP (S38° 03.923,E175° 15.198) and Stop#1 WP (S38° 03.880,E175° 15.239) MINUS 46

For those who do not know which cache to get the S & E numbers from GC3CR3W. it is the Rocky Tops cache, and its coords are:
S 38° 03.934 E 175° 15.104
Find that cache first, then look for Geckoh's log in the logbook and you will see the magic numbers you need, also, cashkids were not aware of these numbers so they too will require to get back up there again, so the FTF is up for all and sundry......

Here is the geochecker for the smart phone users in the field!




For the bag of hammer's phone users I will give you a checksum for the whole coordinate (incl. the 38° and 175° bit...) that checksum will be 62....
