This cache is one of the oldest geocache-adventures of Elba and it was the first multicache at Elba (*2006).
The walk leads you over a public hiking trail on a bushy hill with lovely viewpoints near Lacona and Capo Stella. The single distance from WP 1 to the stash is about 2,7 km
Please respect the nature in this area: it's a National Parc.
Don't forget your sunprotection and drinks in the hot summertimes (up to 30° Celsius)
Routing towards the stash:
Go to WP1 at N 42.45.542 / E 010.19.003: You'll find two numbers on a wall, next to each other. Calculate: A= (Left number - Right number) + 1
Go to WP2 at N 42.45.450 / E 010.19.03A: Use the 3 numbers of an old sign at the right side of the gate: That's BCD.
Go to WP3 at N 42.45.(A+B)C(C-B) E 010.19.(B+D)3(B+C): What number is used for "mese" and "anno"? This is EFGH
Go to WP4 at N 42.4(C-B).FAB E 010.19.(A+E)(F-D)(G+B): You'll find a pole with some signs about trail numbers. Use the upper sign with "...... ... Golfo Stella". Use the value of the 2 first capital letters in this line. These are J and K
Go to WP5 at N 42.44.HF3 E 010.19.(H-K)BD: Find the unique number of the electricity post. This is LMNOPQ
: Go to WP6 at N 42.44.H(P-O)(P+J) / E 010.19.N(C+M)(K+L+N): You have arrived at a T-junction with another trail sign. Choose here the path which leads you the best towards the direction of the sun...
Follow this path to the stash-location at:
N (C-B)(A+B) 4P.(L+N)(C-K)(E-M)
E 010 J(F+J). (3*(A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+J+K+L+M+N+O+P+Q)) + L
Last mission: When you arrived at the stash-location shout it out:
"I'M THE CACHE-KING OF ELBA!!!" ;-)
Next challenge?: Solve the popular geocache-secrets of Napoleon at Elba!!!!
