Geocache Description:


I'd never heard of Private Scenic Reserves until I encountered this one, but this land became one in 1994.

There is no need to enter private land.

Simply go to the posted co-ordinates and read the sign. On it are 2 dedication plaques. The one on the right mentions a birth and a death date and this is what you are after.

The date of birth is in the format A-B-CDEF

The date of passing is G-H-IJKL

 

The final location is S40 39. U V W       E175 15. X Y Z

Where;

U = F + H

V = J

W = B

X = D

Y = G + H

Z = A * E

 

This a slightly sneaky hide, camouflaged to blend in well with its surroundings whilst being in open sight.

There is no room in this container for SWAG or TB’s, and you will need to have your own scrawling device on you.

Please re-hide exactly as found, and report any damage etc in your log. All feedback welcome.
