This series is to try to encourage you all to go for a wander or if you are feeling fit, a run or a cycle in the Dandenong Ranges. I would suggest you start from One Tree Hill car park, the town of Sassafras or one of the many entrances to the Dandenong Ranges National Park along Sheffield Road. Please take note of the time the car park closes if you park at One Tree Hill.
Please keep in mind that tree coverage may interfere with GPSr reception in the area. I have included some quite good hints if required, so that should help in the search. This area may become quite wet, muddy and slippery during winter. Many of the caches are along 4WD tracks that are closed to traffic, but are quite rough and not recommended for taking kids on bikes, although on foot is probably OK.
At the posted co-ordinates you will need to gather some information:
On the RED Sign, exclude the title
A=3rd Word, 2nd Letter.
B=2nd Word, 1st Letter.
C=4th Word, 1st Letter Minus 3
D=7th Word, 4th Letter Minus 1
E=6th Word, 2nd Letter Minus 12
There is a 3 Paneled Sign to the left
F=Panels on the sign Minus 1
G=6th Word, 4th Letter Minus 5
H=1st Word, 9th Letter
I=1st Word, 5th Letter
J= 3rd Word, 2nd Letter
Place converted results into the following:
WP2: S37 AB.CDE E145 FG.HIJ
Once at WP2, you will be in front of a sign, count the letters in each word....
K= Word 1 minus 2
L=Word 3 minus 1
M=Word 4 minus Word 3
N=Word 1
O=Word 1 plus word 3 minus word 2
P=Word 4 minus word 1 minus word 3
GZ: S37 51.KLM E145 20.NOP
You are looking for a 400ml Sistema container painted black
As per normal practice, please make sure the cache is well hidden when you put it back.
Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
