Capital Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Uncle Chem: I've decided to archive all but one of what remains of the 051 geoart as I would like to open the space for other artists. I hope it is well used.

Geocache Description:


Geocache is not at the listed coordinates but in the 7 Dams Conservatory. Access to the Conservatory is limited to members who pay an annual fee on 7dams.co.za alternatively, if you are from out of town and will only be in town for a short while, you can contact a local cacher and make an arrangement for access. It's a great place to take the dogs for a walk, go biking or hiking and view all the flaura and fauna.

To find the cache, you will need to complete this sentence: Bloemfontein is the ___ capital of South Africa

Now take the letters of the word you've inserted and assign numbers as follows First Letter = 1, Second Letter = 2 etc. NB: If a letter repeats itself, assign it the same number as the first appearance (eg if the word was eggs, it would look like this e = 1, g = 2, g = 2, s = 3) though I can inform you that Bloem is not the egg capital of South Africa.

Coordinates are

S 29° !@.#$% E 026° ^&.!&*

Where:

! = L - I - I + J

@ = C - J

# = @ + L - I - D

$ = ! + U + C

% = A + D

^ = D - U

& = A - C + U

* =(L + A + I) - 2(C) - U

This cache is part of Bloemfontein's first geoart series. This cache is also part of 30 I am placing in a month to celebrate my 30th birthday and how geocaching has made some of those 30 years so much more enjoyable.(23/30)
