Geocache Description:

A large cache located SOMEWHERE on the banks of the Credit River.

Note: The posted coordinates do NOT contain a cache! They only represent an approximate midpoint of the various stages for this cache.

The cache location was changed on March 20, 2005. The calculations below have been revised to suit.

This multi-cache is a smaller version of its big brother (the Parking on the Credit multi-cache) and only uses parks that were omitted from that project. Each of the stages is a standalone cache and may be treated as such. If you wish to find this cache, you must collect the secret from each of the stage caches (see links below). You can do the caches in any order; just ensure that you note the secret to the cache you found it in (see below). The secret is usually located on the inside of the cache lid.

The cache container is a large camouflaged container (12" x 8" x 9"). Please ensure that the cache is properly closed and re-hidden when you are finished.

Trailhead coordinates can be calculated by subtracting 0.037 from the final north and adding 0.312 to the final west. For an alternate trailhead (winter), add 0.047 to the final north and adding 0.339 to the final west. Parking is 150 meters west of the first trailhead.

Please be cautious of the nearby Credit River!

There are nettles and bugs in the area of the final, so come prepared!

Write the secrets next to their respective caches in the tables below. Find the matching 3 digit number from the 'Secret Translation' table and write it in the designated spot in the table. Once you have all of the cache secrets, you can calculate the final cache coordinates as indicated in the tables.
