Geocache Description:


Times they are changing and this is clearly visible here. Once the little shop at WP2 was thriving when the main road around Iceland passed by here. Today the remains belong to the community with no plans for its future.

Nearby is also a sign board, at given coords, bringing history to the bridge that once was the longest of its kind in the Nordic countries.

This is a short 2 stage multi, one virtual stage and a final one where you can find the cache.

You have to find information on the sign board and match figures found with the formulas below :

 

A B C D E . F G= the amount of króna.aura it once cost to build the bridge

H I J K= the year it was built

L M . N= length of the bridge

O P Q R= the year until heavier motorised traffic was forbidden

 

With this information at hand you can calculate the final coords by replacing the letters with the found figures :

 

X= ABCDE + L*HIQR + N*MB - FM

Y= ABCDE + FOJJJ – F*LM - HF

 

The cache can be found at

N 65 X   W 017 Y

 

This is the first cache I place and I hope you will finding it interesting.

Please close the container well and rehide so it is not directly visible !

 

PLEASE PUBLISH NO PICTURES OF THE INFO BOARD WITH YOUR LOGG

Good Luck !
