If you solved the riddle before 12/31/24, go through the checker again. The solution remains the same, but the cache location has changed.

Why did I put a Cache here ?

 

5 Oct 2013 I came to this area to participate in the annual swim across the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee).It was the 60th this competition/event is being held. This event started in the mid 1903's but the first real tournament was in 1943. But I said that this year(2013) it was the 60th so did they pause in the middle? How do they count ? well acctully they ony started the count when the event stopped being only for professionals or a competition but an open event for everyone, a family style event and this was in 12 Oct 1954. There are two option a 1.5 Km swim or a 3.5 Km swim.

 

 

 

 

How do I get to the Cache ?

 

The posted coordinates will place you on a small grassy area infront of an impressive monument for the fallen soldiers(SEE THE PHOTO ABOVE). The monument has two distinct areas: on the left there are huge rocks with dates and names of the fallen soldiers and on the right a huge boulder with the symbol of the IDF(צהל) and a phrase.

 

(A) is the number of boulders on the left that has the names of the fallen soldiers on them.

 (B,C) all the boulders have a range of years for example 19**-19** only one boulder has only one year the year is 19BC.

(D) 194D is the oldest year / the year they start the count from.

(E) On the Boulder of the oldest year count how many names are there? The number is 5E

(F)  now look at the monument on the right with the IDF sign, The sword with the olive branch(or twig). F is the number of Olive leafs on that branch.

The Cache is waiting at: N 32 42. (D-B),(E),(B-E) E 035 35. (A-F),(D),(C+E)
