Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coords. Those will take you to an island on Morris Lake. To find the actual cache location, you’re going to have to do some driving and a little urban art appreciation.

This is a continuation of the theme started by the original cache "GC177NM: Drive-By Art Appreciation". Click here to view that cache listing.

During your quest for this cache you will see five more examples each of Aliant's Outside Plant Cabinets and HRM's Traffic Control Units.

To get the coords for the cache, simply drive by the reference points and note the main subject of each painting. Look at the pictures. Match the main subject of each painting to the following descriptions (listed alphabetically) to determine the cache coords:

  • blue door path = 6
  • boat in a canal = 0
  • country church = 9
  • fishing boats = 3
  • graduation and mascots = 4
  • lighthouse = 4
  • on golden pond = 8
  • Battleship Grey = 3
  • trail and birch trees = 6
  • waterfall = 1
Cache is located at N44 AB.CDE W063 FG.HIJ

For example: if Painting "A" was a 'blue door path' (it isn't) then A=6

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com

I suggest you do some homework before heading out to determine the easiest order in which to drive by the reference points as they're simply listed alphabetically.

Also strongly suggest you bring a passenger along to operate the GPSr and record each waypoint so you can concentrate on your driving. Please don't geocache and drive!
If your GPSr has a Route feature, this would be a good time to use it as some of these reference points will come up on you pretty quickly.

Cache is just off a trail that can be wet at times. A minor bushwhack is required after leaving the trail. While the cache itself is winter friendly, the trail may not be. As usual, FTF gets a tims on me.

Bonus points are available if you can describe in your log the other examples of urban art you passed along the way on your quest ;-)
