Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

The coordinates bring you to a stone marker in the town of Kakabeka Falls. Use the information on the plaque to find the final coordinates.
Find the year that Joseph Ryan applied for land in the area. Divide the year by 1000 = A
Count the number of letters in the english translation for the Objibway word "Kakabeka". This number = B
Then: A + B = C

The final coordinates are:
48° (13.317 + C) '
89° (26.259 + C) '
Check out the falls after you have found the cache.

On the third day of Cachemas my true love sent to me,

three travel bugs,

two bison tubes,

and a geocoin in a spruce tree.



Please sign the Christmas card in the cache and keep a record of the number on the back of the card (the sixth and twelfth days are puzzle caches and will have LANDSHARKZ gift cerificates for FTF prizes). Items in the cache are for trade.

Well we stopped at the Day 11 cache first on our way down to Kakabeka Falls for this cache. When we got to the parking lot for the Day 11 cache and got out the brader was coming in to clear hte parking lot. So we decided to go find Day 3 first and come back to a clear parking lot. Got down to the first stage of Day 3 cache to get the information required. Glad we didn't have to go any further because the highway was blocked with the Olympic Torch going by. So off the final cache location - Cache was easily found - signed the logbook - then went back to Day 11 cache.

My cache find #3170 - TFTC
