Geocache Description:

This cache is placed in the vicinity of the double story hide that overlooks Big Toms River, at the point where a solar water pump has been recently installed to top up the water during the dry season. Park fees are applicable. This location can be extremely difficult to get to in the wet season and so is not recommended if the roads are wet - for this reason we have given a higher Terrain level.


The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates.  The correct co-ordinates are as follows:

S18 41.ABC  E025 59.DEF

To work out the correct Ground Zero you need to answer the following questions:

How many stairs lead up to the floor level of the viewing platform? - Answer = G
How many metel poles hold up the roof of the hide? - Answer = H
How many thin uprights are there in the stair railing? - Answer = J
How many 'A' frames are there in the roof construction? - Answer = K
How many blue tiles are there behind the sink? - Answer = L
How many yellow letters are there in the first word of the green sign? - Answer = M

A = G-H
B = H-K
C = L-K
D = M+L-G
E = G/4
F = (G+L)/4

This is an excellent spot to have a tea break or a lunch break while working out the final co-ordinates in the shade of the hide while watching the wildlife!
