Geocache Description:

This is the final cache in the Park Hayarkon series. The coordinates point to the nearest parking lot - the cache is not there!

Park Hayarkon, also known as Joshua Gardens (Ganey Yehoshua in Hebrew,) is the biggest park in Tel Aviv. Named after Yehoshua Rabinovitz, Tel Aviv's mayor in 1969-1974, it was developed during the early 70's. The park occupies 3,500 dunams (almost 1,000 acres), along the Yarkon river, most of them are open to the public. The bike trails are becoming very popular, with some riders going all the way from the river's springs near Rosh Ha'ayin to the Mediterranean (about 30km).

This cache series consists of 6 traditional caches and this final cache. The other caches are:
Park Hayarkon - The Rose Garden
Park Hayarkon - The Tropical Garden
Park Hayarkon - The Theater
Park Hayarkon - The Dog Park
Park Hayarkon - The Seven Mills
Park Hayarkon - River Bend
There is also a bonus hint G that you can find at
Park Hayarkon - Etgarim

Some of these caches are tricky to find; use the photos and the hints if you want to make it easier.

Biking is the fastest way to tour the caches in the series; all caches, including the final, are within 10 meters from the trails. Google map is pretty accurate in terms of the park's trails and bridges - it may save you some time to plan with it.

On each of the log sheets of the caches in the series you will find one of the letters A-F and a numerical value. Since some of the caches may be tough to find, a checksum is provided: A+B+C+D+E+F = 28, so that you can actually calculate the coordinates of the final cache even you find only 5 of the 6 caches.

Once you have the values of A-F, do some math:
R = A-D-E
S = B
T = C+D-F
X = B+D
Y = C
Z = A+E
The coordinates of the final are N 32° 06.RST E 034° 48.XYZ .
Recent measurements show that if you subtract 2 from RST and add 2 to XYZ, you may get closer to the cache...

The final cache is yet another micro, a 35mm canister, hidden about G feet above the ground. Please note the setup and replace exactly as found.
There is no writing tool in the cache, so please bring one with you.
