Geocache Description:


The final cache IS NOT at the posted coordinates. At the posted co-ords you will see just to the north a lighthouse, built in 1875 and manned for nearly a century  until the electric light was installed, by lightkeepers and their families. William 'Lighthouse Willie' MacDonald and Benjamin MacIsaac were the two lightkeepers who kept this one lit for all those years.  Also at the posted co-ords you will find a 5 digit number(look up a bit ). To find the final cache the last 3 digits of this number will = A. Find the final year the lighthouse was manned and total the digits of that year = B(eg:1996 =  1+9+9+6 = 25)
