You have probably heard the old saying: Two is company, three is a crowd. Well, you are going to need a crowd/mob with smart phones to be able to get the coordinates for the cache container.
There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start there.
This is a new version of an Intercache. You will need a smart phone with the ability to access the internet using a standard browser. Oh, and a certain number of people with smart phones to be at the posted co-ordinates.
- First go to the bus station and work out the following (you do not need to enter the bus station)
A = How many supports are holding up the large white canope? (Take 7 from this for A)
B = What number is above the airplane? NX1 (Take 4 from this for B)
C = What number is on the street sign? Parnell Place X (Add 2 to this for C)
D = How many letters in the missing word - look across the river (The ... Hotel) (Take 4 from this for D)
Now that you have ABCD (Checksum = 14) you can go to the posted coordinates (you should end up standing between two identical wooden objects)
- Open https://www.geotrailsw.com/mob/ on your smart phone.
- Verify that the accuracy displayed is reasonable (hopefully less than 30 metres or so.)
- "Which mob are you attending?" When prompted with this question, enter the four digit number ABCD
- This will open a screen that will navigate you to the "geo-mob" coordinates.
- You may already be at the mob coordinates, if you're not, it's a short walk from the posted coordinates.
- Once the website verifies you are at the location, the counter bumps up.
- Next is to get all of your friends to do the same and meet you at this location. Everyone has to get within a 30-foot-radius sized circle. So squeeze in. You'll have to get an unspecified number of you and your friends squeezed in there. Good luck with that. Required number will be revealed when you are at the posted co-ordinates.
- When the counter reaches the required mob size, the coordinates for the cache are revealed.
- Stay in your tight group formation until the revealed information is recorded, or written down, or photographed, or memorized within your photographic memory. Record this information right away! If people leave the mob area, the page you are looking at may disappear and no longer show you the needed coordinates for the geocache. (It takes a minute.)
- Then enter those coordinates into your GPS receiver and go get it.
- Please preserve the spirit of this Geo-Mob by not disclosing the coordinates of the Final location to those who do not meet as a group as intended. Thanks.
The cache is a medicine container with a small pen and log book. Should be room for trackables however magnets are not the strongest so might be best to leave them out!
Entire route is suitable for wheelchairs however they will not be able to reach the actual hiding spot.
