Geocache Description:

World's are colliding as Geocaching, Letterboxing and Staring at your phone all meet in this Letterbox Hybrid Cache in Mel Swart Park!

This park offers something for all players, two geocaches, 8 virtual something or others and now a Letterbox!

Please read the entire description thoroughly before attempting.


If you happen to like staring at your phone and Geocaching as i do, the best spot to park is the nice gravel lot at the front of the park. From here, walk down the gravel path to the beautiful wooden boardwalk and make you way along. By doing this you can collect 8 virtual something or others on your way to the Letterbox.

The posted coordinates will lead you to a park bench dedicated to someone, this also happens to be the last virtual something or other in the park. Please note that the Letterbox is not actually hidden at these coordinates.

What you will do here however, is figure out a VERY SIMPLE puzzle to get the actual coordinates of where the Letterbox is hidden.

Puzzle:

43 06.ABC

A = Number of letters in the last word before the birth year.
B = Second number in the year of death.
C = Third number in the birth year.

79 13.DEF

D = Number of letters in nickname (in parenthesis).
E = Second number in the birth year.
F = First number in the birth year

Once you have the puzzle sorted out make your way to the final coordinates where you will find a fully stocked Letterbox. There are Pokemon cards that can be traded for (fairly please) and a First to Find prize for first Child finder. 

There is also a Stamp included, please do not remove the stamp for the Letterbox as it is there for everyone to enjoy. I have included a pad of paper with it that you can use to stamp on and tear off a sheet and bring home with you if you'd like.
