The Cheese Stands Alone Webcam Cache

Greatland Reviewer: The Webcam Cache Page is being archived because the Cache Owner is not maintaining the integrity of the cache logs, the Cache Owner cannot be contacted due to not validating his/her e-mail address and has not been online for nearly a year, and because visiting cachers have taken to treating this Webcam cache as a Virtual cache by taking selfies rather than capturing a webcam photo as required by the guidelines for this cache type.

Geocache Description:

Multi Cache/Multi Webcam Cache. Nice walk through Waikiki.

Please note that due to changes in the webcams, saving images is no longer possible (or at least easy). From now on, in order to log a find, you need only be seen on the webcams by your friends.

First off, PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE'S PICTURES UNTIL YOU FINISH THE CACHE! Sorry for the caps, but it's important, as the pictures contain spoilers.

This is a combination Multi Cache/Multi-Webcam cache. Make sure to bring a cell phone to get a friend to see you on the webcams, and a pen and paper to write down info received.

The above coordinates put you in an open air parking lot in the middle of Waikiki. There is a lot of construction in the area of the parking lot, and the magnetic key case keeps disappearing. Until it settles down in the area, I'm posting the first destination coordinates in the clear: N 21° 16.532 W 157° 49.512

The coordinates are also for the location of a micro cache (magnetic key case) that is hidden here. I'll encrypt the actual description of the location, so hunt around a bit first... Remember, It's magnetic... If you aren't able to find it, I've also added the destination coordinates in the hints section.

OK, once you have the micro cache, you've got the coordinates for the first webacam. You also have part of the web page you're friend has to go to. Don't call your friend yet, the question marks have to be filled in. Write all the information down, and while you're at it, write down the name of the street just Mauka of you (probably the one you just came in off).

Next, go to the location of the first webcam. the question marks in the web address should be replaced by the first name on the plaque. Call your friend, look Mauka, and smile! (You might also want to raise your hands, as the camera covers quite a wide area).

Great, one webcam down, one to go...

The address of the second webacam is:

21 16.ABC

157 49.DEF

Where

  • A=Silver
  • B=3*Gold
  • C=2*Gold+Bronze
  • D=Gold
  • E=Silver+(# of tiki torches just behind)
  • F=2*Bronze+Silver

This all should be clearer when you're at the location.

Now that you have the coordinates to the second webcam, head there, and phone your friend again. This time, the question marks should be replaced by the street name you wrote down earlier. Look over the left shoulder of the famous landmark, wave your hands & smile.

For Bonus marks, there's a third webcam located between the two you've been to. I'll leave it up to you and your telephone buddy to figure this one out.

Post all your pictures here to show completion of the cache.

Hope you had fun!
