Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun...

A Peace Pole is a monument that displays the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth” in the language of the country where it has been placed, and usually 3 to 5 additional translations. The message is referred to as a peace prayer.
The idea of Peace Poles was first thought up by Masahisa Goi in 1955 in Japan. The first Peace Poles outside Japan were constructed in 1983. Since then, more than 100,000 have been placed around the world in over 180 countries. Peace Poles have been placed in such notable locations as the North Magnetic Pole, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, and the site of the Egyptian Pyramids in Giza.
Several of these poles are located nearby, and this cache uses many of them as waypoints needed to determine the exact location of the final of this cache. In addition to the co-ordinates of the poles, you are provided with their distance from the actual cache.
