THE CACHE LOCATION:
Obviously, the posted coordinates are virtual: the final coordinates will take you to one of the most interesting viewpoints over the Varese Lake, with a glimpse over Maggiore Lake and Monate Lake.
There is a superb view over the Alps from Monviso (in a clear day, usually after a windy night) to Monte Rosa, with the higher hut in Europe, Capanna Margherita at 4,554 metres (14,941 ft) above sea level.
For sure less fascinating from my point of view, but historically interesting, this spot was built during the Fascist time, allegedly by the Duce himself. The view is the reason why of the cache location, rather than its origin…
After the fall of the regime, the fascist decorative elements of the place were vandalized and now you can see just the remains.
I suggest you the visit the spot in a clear day or at the sunset, especially in winter: the colors are amazing.
THE REAL COORDINATES:
Solve the following enigma to find the real coordinates for the GZ. Write me for additional help
THE INITIAL HINT FOR THE FINAL LOCATION:
Coordinates, important indication:
define (0) input
N 45 50, _ _ _ E 8 44, _ _ _
To check if you have found the right coordinates use this CHECK: _+_+_+_+_+_ = 34
THE CACHE ( ITEM 1) :
It's divided in two items nearby:
- a small cache ( ITEM 1 - lighter size) containing the key and the indications necessary to open the letter box
- the letter box ( ITEM 2 - small box dimension)
Arrived at the spot, search the first part of the cache, ITEM 1, containing the indications and the key (a real key) necessary to find and open the nearby letter box.
THE CACHE HINT:
dimension = lighter \ camouflage \ magnetic
THE LETTER BOX (ITEM 2) :
Open the cache, take the key inside and solve the easy ciphered indication attached to the cache to obtain the letter box positioning with the logbook (few meters from the cache)
CLEAR HINT: just to avoid muggles issues, translate the indication you'll find attached.
USE THE CYPHER ALPHABET IN THE SPOILER" IE: SRJ ZRGRF = FEW METERS .
Use the indication and the item to reach the close letter box (less then 10 meters) and open it to find the logbook and the stamp.
The letter box is outside a private space but the owner is a friend of mine and you won’t have any issue from him.
NOTES:
Obviously put everything back at its place as you found it. Please check if the letter box is well closed.
There is only a possible parking slot at the location but it is private: if you do not want issues, I recommend to park approximately 200 meters in both directions from the location.
I’m at your disposal for any additional hint: in case of any cache problem, please notify immediately, I live nearby and I can manage maintenance pretty easily.
Have a great time and enjoy the view.
THANKS IK2VOE for the beta testing and the unofficial FTF. Thanks Brigante Tiburzi for the review
