All of sudden our GPS has brought us far away, to a snowy land surrounded by tall mountains.. Where are we?? There is yodeling, lots of Swiss Time clocks, Swiss Army knives and St. Bernard Dogs!?!
Have we found ourselves in the middle of the Alps? Is this Switzerland?!?
Indeed, it may be Switzerland, but you know one thing for sure.. you are a St. Bernard dog.
Fortunately, you can read, do math and have a GPS! You need to find the cache, in order to save a victim. Your job is to find the cache, and restock a new item and take an item in the cache back with yourself. This will keep the cache well supplied for victims in need. Also sign the log (you can also write).
After finding the initial first coordinate location, you will be required to find the final cache container's coordinates. The required missing information is located at the 1st coordinates given on this page.
FINDING THE FINAL CACHE'S COORDINATES:
How to find the cache latitude coordinate:,
1) Go to the 1st coordinate that is given for this cache on the site.
2) What year was the station's name changed?
3) Take the last 2 digits of that year, add 5 and put it in the below coordinate:
37º 11.0 __ __
***********
EXAMPLE:
The year the station's name was changed = 1452
52 + 5 = 57
37º 11.057
Don't use the EXAMPLE coordinate!!
How to find the cache longitude coordinate:
1) Go to the 1st coordinate that is given for this cache on the site.
2) At the 1st coordinate is a story. Read the story until you come to the last chapter.
3) Take the 3 digit chapter number and do the below math:
Chapter Number:
___ ___ ___
A B C A=
B=
C=
Do the below math using the substitute letters:
C - A = D
B - D = E
The Longitude Coordinate for the cache is:
118º 15.EDD
*************************
EXAMPLE:
Chapter Number=536
A=5
B=3
C=6
C - A = D
B - D = E
6 - 5 = 1
3 - 1 = 2
D=1
E=2
The Longitude Coordinate for the cache is:
118º 15.EDD
.EDD = . 211
The Longitude Coordinate for the cache is:
118º 15.211
Don't use the EXAMPLE coordinate!!
Final Cache coordinates:
37º 11.0 __ __
118º 15. __ __ __
Altitude 3930'
The original contents of this cache were:
Vegas Lola Buzzz Travel Bug
Deck of Cards
Stuffed Bee
