Due to the
circumstances with the stolen box by the nearby perfume shop this
multi-cache has been replaced by the new traditional cache GC1HD3F
at new coordinates. It will soon be activated.
-> If you
have searched for the former multi-cache with these old coordinates
and a positive result from the geocacher please log here
without visiting the perfume shop
-> In case
you have found the new traditional cache - which was temporarily
described under this listing from about October 12 to 20 - please

and available under this
link)

Go to N 27° 54.490 E 034° 19.510.
What do you find at this point?
- a car park: a = 5
- a big swimming pool: a = 10
- a church: a = 15
Now look in the direction of about 120-130 degrees and count the
number of letters in the big 3 blue written words of a name. There
are now a few more neon writings: There is NO letter "P" in these 3
words and NONE of them is "Casino"!
Number of letters in
- word # 1 = b
- word # 2 = c
- word # 3 = d
And now take a break in one of the various restaurants and
calculate - you don't need a computer:
uvw = (a * b * c * d) - 305
xyz = (a * b * c * 2) -74
Check your results with the check sum: (u+v+w) - (x+y+z) =
3 or via the
Geochecker

Note: This is a regular public cache but it has been created on a
special demand by Alice for her geocacher Swiss Jim Hawkins in
order to give him reasons to relax a few weeks at a very nice
holiday place during the Swiss winter. And in addition we want to
thank SJH for his series of wonderful alp caches in the eastern
part of Switzerland in 2005 and 2006. See his
caches.
Small note on cache maintenance: We are here several times a year,
as is a geocaching friend.
