This one’s for all you Sudoku fans.
The Sudoku puzzle craze has spread from Japan in the early 2000’s to all across Canada, thanks to the puzzle pages of our newspapers.
The given co-ordinates are for Lount Castle. A short walk from the cache site.
This “castle” was constructed by William Lount, on a hilltop farm property in 1878 and had a magnificent view of Kempenfelt Bay to the South. According to the Grand Homes walking tour booklet developed by Heritage Barrie, Lount’s Castle was designed in a Second-Empire style by architect George Brown. Interesting features include a double sided mansard roof, loads of dormer windows, brackets beneath the eaves, wrought iron cresting above the cornice and a floral patterned slate roof.
William Lount, himself, was a lawyer with political ambitions. He served as MPP for Simcoe North for 5 years and became an MP for a year after moving to Toronto. 4yrs. later he became a judge. Throughout this period he used this home as a summer residence.
Today, you will have to use a little imagination as the surrounding property has been sold and the outbuildings have disappeared.
To find this cache you will have to solve the following puzzle.
It consists of a 9x9 grid that has been subdivided into 9 smaller grids of 3x3 squares.
