Geocache Description:

SCRUFFSTER SKUNK IS MISSING:
Chapter 5 -- The Stinker


This series will take you on a mystery tour of Burnaby Mountain. The coordinates posted above do not lead directly to the cache but will take you to the general area. In order to find the physical cache you will be forced to do some research at:

SCRUFFSTER SKUNK IS MISSING

Once you have read the information provided, you will discover that deductive reasoning is the key. Most of the clues are imbedded within the web page but field research will also be required. At times you will be flying blind as you look for landmarks. To limit the possibility of bushwhacking all landmarks are located on or within sight (very close proximity) of a main trail.

Once you find the physical cache for Chapter #1 you will see a password on the first page of the logbook which will open up another webpage for Chapter #2. Yes, you will have to do more online research to find the following chapters. Some webpage puzzles will be harder than others but all physical hides should not exceed a difficulty of two stars. The password boxes are located at the bottom of Chapter #1's web page (link above).

There are no trade items in the first four caches. Please save trades for the final cache. The FTF prize is anything you would like from the ammo box I won at the last event. It's filled with great swag.

As you follow in the footsteps of "Scruffster Skunk" the plot will thicken. Hopefully, your imagination will allow you to become part of the mystery. You are the sleuth.

Good luck.
