Geocache Description:


This 3-stage multi-cache is meant as a supplement to the nearby "Herzl House in Hulda Forest" geocache (GC9D2DN). If you have a little extra time, it's well worth it to check out some of the other historical locations, which are an easy walking distance from there.

 

Stage 1: (the posted coordinates)

The posted coordinates will bring you to the Shiloah-line water resevuoir, around which you'll find several information plaques in Hebrew.

The concreate reservoir was quickly built in July of year A

The hand-written letter to Dov Yosef was numbered B

The green map of the emergency water line to Jerusalem is numbered C/1
 

Stage 2: (waypoint)

Next, go to the memorial to labor and resistance, near Chizik's grave. You'll find there a sign in English and Hebrew.

The Hulda farmstead was attacked on the year D

Efraim Chizik, who died in the attack, was born in the year E

The memorial was inaugurated in the year F

 

Stage 3: (the final)

The cache is located near the "deep well". The well was dug 189m deep, and required a special high-pressure pump. But in the end the water turned out to be polluted with sulfer and were undrinkable. The Well was abandoned, and soon collapsed and was filled in.

The cache is hidden nearby, at the coordinates:

X = D + E + F - B - 12

Y = 4*C + E - A + 8

n 31° 49.X  e 34° 53.Y
